The primary objective of the social work curriculum is to prepare students for beginning practice as professional social workers. Students selecting social work are required to complete a strong liberal arts curriculum and a core of basic social science courses including theory, research methods and statistics. The social work curriculum consists of a sequence of ten courses or 34 semester hours. The courses within the sequence are designed to provide a comprehensive study of social welfare systems, social work as a profession, social policy analysis, social human behavior and the social environment, practice methods, and field placement practicum. The major social work values essential for professional practice are important parts of the curriculum. Students are expected to finish the program having the basic skills essential for professional practice.
