Bachelor of Arts - Social Work

The Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Work at CUC provides a curriculum and learning environment that is accessible to a diverse range of students, who are prepared to make significant and unique contributions in their service to clients, communities, and the profession as a whole.

Graduating social work students are equipped to enter the profession in various roles and employment settings. They are also well-prepared to continue their education at the graduate level with a Master's degree in social work.

The full-time social work faculty members hold doctorates in social work and possess many years of clinical practice experience. This expertise enables them to effectively connect theory and practice in the classroom, incorporating real-life examples. Social work courses are small, providing ample individual attention and one-on-one interaction with professors.

The social work degree, combined with field experience, prepares graduates to enter the workforce immediately after graduation. Many alumni secure employment with the agencies where they completed their field placements. For those planning a long-term career in social work, it is highly recommended to pursue a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree. Concordia students have continued their education at prestigious graduate institutions such as Washington University in St. Louis, the University of Chicago, the University of Illinois, Loyola University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the University of Michigan.
