The Social Work program emphasizes generalist social work practice and promotes an understanding of human interactions within social environments. Content areas include social work values and ethics, diversity, promotion of social and economic justice, populations-at-risk, human behavior in the social environment, social welfare policy and services, social work practice, research, field placements, and an international perspective. Graduates of the program are prepared for entry-level social work practice and for graduate study.
Because the Social Work curriculum is accredited by the Council of Social Work Education, graduates are eligible to apply for social work licensure in Minnesota and other states. After being granted social work licensure in Minnesota, graduates are eligible to apply for school social work licensure. Students are also eligible for full membership in the National Association of Social Work and are accountable to the Social Work Code of Ethics.
