Students interested in a social work degree are committed to the well-being of individuals, groups, families, and communities, with particular regard for those who are, or who have been, oppressed, marginalized or otherwise disfranchised. The BSW curriculum is designed to prepare students to engage in generalist social work practice and work in a broad array of social service agencies. As part of the academic program, students complete 500 hours of practicum at a social services agency and complete a capstone project that reflects learning in class and in the field. The Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work at Avila University is accredited through the Council on Social Work Education. This program is one of Avila’s flexible programs. It can be done online as an undergraduate program, or you can combine in-person core classes with the online courses for a true hybrid undergraduate experience.
