BSW Social Work

The Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree:

BSW degree graduates are employed by departments of social services, school systems, medical facilities, nursing homes, and many other human services agencies. They work with children, families, and community groups to enhance personal and interpersonal functioning.

The UNCW BSW Program follows a ‘generalist’ model of social work education, with an emphasis on the ‘strengths-perspective’ of social work practice. This means that UNCW BSW students obtain a well-rounded social work education in all areas of BSW-level practice, with a specialized knowledge of strengths-perspective, which honors client resiliency.
