BA/BS in Social Work

Social Work students prepare to support vulnerable individuals and families facing violence, mental illness, substance abuse, racism, and poverty, while working toward human rights and a fairer society. Graduates may practice in schools, nursing homes, and government agencies, among other places. A liberal arts foundation supports grounding in the theory, practice, and research of the profession. Undergraduates complete notably more field practicum hours than typical standards require. Illinois State University in Normal delivers the major on its campus. Prospective students can tour in person or online, speak with advisers from the department, the honors program, and financial aid, and apply through the university. Contact details for the hosting department appear on the program page, and a request-information form is available for those who want to hear from the university.
