The Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) is designed for those who wish to make a career out of helping others improve their lives and reach their highest potential. BSW students develop skills that will give them the skills they need to be a competent, compassionate social worker and to make a difference in today’s multicultural world.
The Master of Social Work (MSW) is critical to professional success in the social work field. Those earning an MSW degree have increased competency, leadership skills, and opportunities for career advancement as they pursue one of two concentrations: Advanced Generalist or School Social Work.
