BA/BS in Social Work

Adelphi's undergraduate social work degree gives students a first professional qualification built around ethics, values and practical skill. Holders of the degree can step into roles that involve case management, crisis support and advocacy at hospitals, schools, child protection agencies, senior centers and neighborhood organizations. The course of study relies on fieldwork in the New York region, with internships stretching across two years, so that graduates arrive in the workforce with real experience. Because the program carries national accreditation from the social work education council, graduates become eligible to enter a one-year advanced-standing track toward the master's degree. Small classes, close faculty guidance, and scholarships for social work majors and transfer students help make the degree more affordable.
