General Ed/Pre-professional Curriculum
Program Curriculum
The Bachelor of Social Work program curriculum represents a highly developed plan of professional education which consistently emphasizes the interface between theory and practice. The curriculum for the B.S.W. degree may be viewed in two major sections. The lower division (60 semester-hours), a liberal arts foundation, reflects those content areas which meet the standards prescribed by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia and by the College of Health and Human Sciences. The upper division courses (60 semester-hours), have been developed to meet the guidelines for baccalaureate social work education as prescribed by the Council on Social Work Education.
The responsibility for curriculum development in social work rests with the full-time faculty of the School. The B.S.W. curriculum is designed to prepare entry-level, generalist social workers who have their educational base in the liberal arts. Each individual social work course has been designed to reflect the mission of the School and to meet the objectives of the core curriculum.
