The undergraduate social work program has been in operation since the fall of 2007.  For more than a decade the undergraduate social work program has been producing entry-level professional social workers who are knowledgeable, ethical, competent, and educated in the tradition of generalist social work. Social work is an amazing career which will enable you to work with individuals, families, groups, communities, and even organizations to create meaningful change.  Our graduates are currently working in the fields of mental health, substance abuse treatment, crisis intervention, child advocacy, medical social work in hospitals and hospice agencies, child/adult protection, and social work education.  Join us now!
