BA/BS in Social Work

The Bachelor of Social Work prepares students for a profession devoted to enhancing wellbeing for people facing varied circumstances. Graduates commonly work with individuals, groups and families in counselling and case management, or move into community organising, planning and policy. The major is an upper-division program with specialized admission. Applicants complete a set of common prerequisite courses in government, biology, economics and psychology before entering, and submit an application with a resume and personal statement. Face-to-face instruction is available at both the Tallahassee and Panama City campuses. The program is not offered online. Prospective students can use the university's academic program guide to review prerequisite coursework, major requirements and advising contacts for this degree. Applicants should confirm current admission steps and timelines with the department before applying. Meeting an advisor early helps students plan courses that satisfy both general education and major expectations.
