Bachelor of Social Work
Vision
To create a community that heals, nurtures, and enhances well-being for all people.
Mission
The UHD BSW Program prepares future Social Workers as change agents committed to inclusion, equity, and justice through innovation, collaboration, and service.
Goals
The BSW program at UHD focuses on preparing a generalist social worker so that upon graduation the student is prepared to work with clients in a variety of settings. Social workers operate in schools, hospitals, mental health, juvenile justice settings, and more performing tasks such as case management, client advocacy, and counseling.
The program goals are:
-
Model a caring and collaborative educational environment where students, faculty, and staff are valued for their strengths, background, and life experiences.
-
Provide opportunities for students to gain awareness of their thoughts and feelings and critically reflect on their alignment with social work values.
-
Equip future social workers for anti-oppressive practice and leadership in diverse communities through innovative classroom practice and learning.
-
Nurture intellectual curiosity, demystify graduate education, and promote community through professional organizations for life-long learning and service.
The following four-yearyear degree plan is based on the UHD 2024-2025 academic catalog. Students should meet with a UHD Academic Advisor to develop their own plan.
