The school offers a BS in Social Work, a minor in social welfare, and a graduate Master of Social Work degree. Our undergraduates learn current social work methods, skills, theories, values and ethics for practice with various communities – in particular, our region’s diverse and vulnerable populations. Our graduates prepare for an advanced level of practice. The programs build on a liberal arts perspective and foster critical thinking, effective communication and ethical behavior.
At every level of practice, social workers promote social justice, address regional needs, and enhance the lives of individuals, families and communities. Our graduates are eligible to sit for the LSW exam and have been placed in more than 200 agencies throughout New England.
