Bachelor of Social Work Degree

The Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree at Appalachian prepares students for entry level professional practice in a wide variety of public and private social welfare agencies, organizations, and programs. In addition to the strong liberal arts base of the Social Work Program, a program of study includes the social, economic, and political processes involved in the development and change of social welfare institutions, social welfare policy, human behavior and the social environment, and the interventive skills and their applications to a wide variety of situations and clients.

The Social Work Program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education.

The Social Work Program is located on the ground floor (west end) of Chapell Wilson Hall.
