SOCIAL WORK
The Social Work major prepares students to enter a helping profession that has a long history of concern and action for the well-being of individuals, families, groups, and communities. Students are prepared for beginning-level, generalist practice, with emphasis on special populations including youth and families, the elderly, and those at risk.
The department is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education and includes academic course work and supervised field practice. Graduates are eligible for certification by the New Jersey Board of Social Work Examiners and also for advanced standing if they pursue graduate study in social work.
