成人直播 launches Bachelor of Social Work program
The 成人直播 School of Social Work, housed in the Westbrook College of Health Professions, has launched a new undergraduate degree, a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW). Through this program, undergraduate students benefit from 成人直播鈥檚 25 years of innovative graduate-level social work education. BSW students have the opportunity to seamlessly move into the MSW program with the ability to complete their graduate degree in one year.
The BSW program prepares students for a wide range of career options in social service, health, mental health and community-based settings. They will graduate with the knowledge and skills needed to put their passion for helping others in motion.
In the fall of 2016, the first students to enroll in the program began their studies at 成人直播. In the spring of 2018, they will take their first social work course, which will be available to all 成人直播 undergraduates. As the program develops, the School of Social Work will collaborate with other undergraduate programs in the Westbrook College of Health Professions and the College of Arts and Sciences. They have already forged a partnership and received a grant to develop simulation experiences with the Education and Health, Wellness and Occupational Studies undergraduate programs. These types of experiences are a priority and clinical simulation, interprofessional education and service learning opportunities for BSW students serve as cornerstones of the program.
鈥淲e designed this program to prepare undergraduates for work in the community as well as graduate school,鈥 said Director of the School of Social Work Shelley Cohen Konrad, Ph.D., LCSW, FNAP. 鈥淲ith the help of our passionate and experienced faculty, undergraduate Social Work students will build a foundation that will support them in their future studies and careers.鈥
