Social Work, B.S.
[Social Work–2104]
The goal of the Bachelor of Science Social Work program at Roberts Wesleyan College is to prepare students for generalist social work practice and for graduate education. With a commitment to professional social work values and ethics, the program provides a practice-oriented education that develops students who can engage in diversity-sensitized social work. Integrating a Christian worldview, students will serve those in need with compassion and skill.
The social work program affirms the stance of the parent institution, operating without student discrimination regarding race, age, color, sex, handicap, creed or national and ethnic origin, and welcomes students from any socio-economic status.
