Undergraduate Social Work Program

The Bachelors of Social Work (BSW) is administered by the School of Social Work in the College of Health at Cleveland State.

The mission of the bachelor's degree in social work (BSW) program is to prepare students for generalized level, self-critical, and accountable practice with oppressed, at-risk and vulnerable populations. The program provides an opportunity for effective skill development and an educational perspective that views human diversity as important and, in many ways, vital to our communities.  Students are equipped with the knowledge, skills and values appropriate to the social work profession, the conceptual base of professional social work, and the various social work roles and intervention strategies used in social work practice.  Students are eligible to take the national Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) licensure exam.
