All
the Social
Work faculty at Western New England College have an abundance
of "real world" social work practice experience combined with
excellent academic credentials.
The
Social Work Program at Western New England College is accredited
by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). This means that
the course of study leading to your BSW degree has to meet rigorous
standards. CSWE sets curriculum
requirements
for the BSW program. Accreditation also means that your BSW will
enable you to apply for ADVANCED STANDING to most graduate social
work programs. This means you can get your MSW degree in as little
as one year, depending on the program that you apply to.
The
course requirements leading to the
BSW degree at Western New England College give you an excellent
background in the knowledge, values and skills of social work
practice, combined with a solid liberal arts foundation.
All
Social Work majors at Western New England College in their senior
year complete a year-long internship
in a social work setting that matches their interests and gives
students the opportunity to put their classroom learning to use
in the "real world" of social work practice. In addition, students
complete a community practice internship
during their junior year where they learn and practice advocacy,
community organization, community education, and strategies for
social change.
