专业概况

在这里学什么？

Social work is a profession for those with a passion to help others. Social work practice consists of the professional application of social work values, principles and techniques to one or more of the following ends: helping people obtain tangible services; providing counseling and psychotherapy with individuals, families and groups; helping communities or groups provide or improve social and health services; and participating in relevant legislative processes.

The practice of social work requires knowledge of human development and behavior; of social, economic and cultural institutions; and of the interaction of these factors. Many social workers specialize in serving a particular population or working in a specific setting, such as hospitals, schools, private practices, correctional facilities, community mental health agencies and substance abuse treatment centers.

Program objectives

Graduates of the social work program will:

• use social work values and ethics to guide professional practice.
• apply knowledge of human behavior and the social environment to guide practice at multiple levels.
• possess knowledge and skills for working effectively with diverse and vulnerable populations.
• analyze social policy; promote social, economic and environmental well-being; and challenge injustice.
• employ empirical evidence to inform, evaluate and improve practice.
• develop a professional identity, with a commitment to life-long learning.

Career Prospects in Social Work

Students who pursue a degree in social work have a broad range of career possibilities. Graduates are prepared to work in careers such as aging and gerontology, child and family welfare, developmental disabilities, domestic violence, health care, homelessness, justice and corrections, international social work, mental health, policy and planning, school social work, and substance abuse treatment. Social workers are administrators, therapists, community organizers, educators, and researchers. They work with a diverse population, helping people in large cities and in small communities.

Many students use the undergraduate social work major as preparation for graduate school in social work. Students who have undergraduate degrees in social work can apply for one-year accelerated master of social work (MSW) programs. An MSW degree prepares students for advanced practice and is necessary to provide mental health counseling in most states.

Some students use the undergraduate social work major as preparation for various other graduate and professional programs including business, law, medicine and public health.
