Central to this mission is preparing students for a profession dedicated to assisting individuals, groups, families, communities, and organizations in their quest for well-being. The program is committed to teaching students to work for the development of a society which promotes equality, social justice, respect for human diversity, and adequate sustenance for all its members. The program seeks to train and encourage its students to be active, personally and professionally, in taking leadership roles in addressing social problems and challenging social, economic, and environmental injustice. The program is committed to developing students&#8217; skills in culturally competent social work practice, research, social service and social policy formation, and political advocacy in order to further this mission.<\/p>\n<h4>About the Major<\/h4>\n<p>The Social Work major is offered by the School of Social Science\u00a0and Human Services and leads to a Bachelor of Social Work (B.S.W.) degree. \u00a0In addition to preparing students for beginning generalist social work practice,\u00a0the program also provides preparation for graduate social work education. The\u00a0Social Work curriculum, taken in conjunction with the School of Social Science and Human Services&#8217; core program is designed to provide students with an understanding of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>social issues<\/li>\n<li>cultural diversity<\/li>\n<li>environmental sustainability<\/li>\n<li>social thought<\/li>\n<li>social welfare history<\/li>\n<li>social services and human needs<\/li>\n<li>social work values and ethics<\/li>\n<li>human behavior and the social environment<\/li>\n<li>social, economic and environmental justice<\/li>\n<li>populations at-risk<\/li>\n<li>social policy<\/li>\n<li>research methods<\/li>\n<li>generalist social work practice skills<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Supervised field work is a major component of the Social Work curriculum. \u00a0Over a two year period, students work\u00a0500 hours in field placements that are\u00a0designed to teach generalist social work practice skills and to integrate\u00a0social work theory with professional practice. The Social Work Program is\u00a0fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).<\/p>\n<p>Students may also co-major or minor in a second field such as psychology, sociology, economics, political science, and minor in the areas of gerontology, substance use disorders, women&#8217;s studies, African-American Studies, ethic studies.<\/p>\n<h4>Program Policy on Transfer Courses, Life Experience,<br \/>\nand Previous Work Experience<\/h4>\n<p>Transfer credit will not be granted for any course in the program&#8217;s professional foundation sequence unless it is an equivalent course taken in an accredited CSWE program. The Social Work Program does not grant social work course credit for life experience or previous work experience.<\/p>\n<h4>Admission into the Social Work Program<\/h4>\n<p>Students may declare an interest in being a social work major prior to their\u00a0admission into the college or during their freshman or sophomore years. However,\u00a0students are not officially social work majors until they formally apply to the program and receive formal admission\u00a0into the program, which usually occurs just prior to the beginning of their junior year. During their first\u00a0two years at the College students are expected to complete their 100 General Education\u00a0requirements and specific program pre-requisites. In order to be eligible for acceptance\u00a0into the Social Work Program students must meet the following requirements:<\/p>\n<p>Completion of all 100 Level General-Education requirements and<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SOSC 110 Social Science Inquiry<\/li>\n<li>SOCI 101 Introduction to Sociology<\/li>\n<li>PSYC 101 Introduction to Psychology<\/li>\n<li>BIOL\u00a0 or SCIN Course<\/li>\n<li>ECON 102 Introduction to Macroeconomics or SWRK 202 Political Economy of Social Welfare<\/li>\n<li>SOCI 232 Sociology of the Family<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Completion of the following two social work prerequisite courses with\u00a0a combined average grade of B.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SWRK 222 History and Philosophy of Social Welfare<\/li>\n<li>SWRK 225 Introduction to Social Work (which includes 20 hours of pre-professional fieldwork).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Completion of 60 academic credits<\/p>\n<p>A Minimum Grade Point Average of 2.75<\/p>\n<h4><a id=\"application\"><\/a>Application Process<\/h4>\n<p>Students who meet the above criteria and wish to enter the Social Work\u00a0Program must file an application for admission into the Social Work\u00a0Program during the semester in the academic year prior to their planned entrance into the program. The application\u00a0includes a completed application, a personal statement, and academic transcripts. \u00a0The Social Work Convening Group Admissions Committee, consisting of members of the social work\u00a0 faculty, reviews all applications for admission into the program. The\u00a0faculty examines each candidate&#8217;s application and academic record, including\u00a0observations made by social work faculty who have taught the candidate in\u00a0the prerequisite social work courses.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to a student&#8217;s intellectual capacity, attention is given to the\u00a0student&#8217;s personal qualities and suitability for the profession. Consideration\u00a0is given to areas such as motivation and interest in social work and social work\u00a0education; demonstrated aptitude through life experience; receptivity to new\u00a0approaches and ideas; the ability to be self-reflective; concern for helping others\u00a0 and solving social problems; the potential to form and sustain effective\u00a0helping relationships with client systems; and the ability to function in an\u00a0agency under supervision. The faculty may, in some cases, request a personal\u00a0interview with the applicant before making its decision.<\/p>\n<p>The applicant is notified by letter of the social work faculty&#8217;s decision. Students who are accepted are given instructions on how to proceed in the major. Students who are rejected for admission to the program are given the specific reasons as to why they were not accepted. Students who are denied admission into the Social Work Program may reapply at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>Transfer students should consult with the BSW Convener as early as\u00a0possible prior to applying for admission into the program.<\/p>\n<p>A minor in social work is not available.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\"><span class=\"fa-stack\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-up fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span>Outcomes for the Major<\/div><div class=\"c_content\">\n<p><strong>Outcome 1: <\/strong>Students will be able to achieve CSWE EPAS Competency 2.1.2: \u00a0Apply social work ethical principles to guide professional practice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outcome 2: \u00a0<\/strong>Students will be able to achieve CSWE EPAS Competency 2.1.5: \u00a0 Advance human rights and social and economic justice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\"><span class=\"fa-stack\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-up fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span>Requirements of the Major<\/div><div class=\"c_content\">\n<ol>\n<li>Transfer students who have 48 or more credits accepted at the time of transfer are waived from the courses marked with a <strong><strong>(W)<\/strong> <\/strong> below.\u00a0 Waivers do NOT apply to Major Requirements.<\/li>\n<li>Double counting between General Education, School Core, and Major may be possible.\u00a0 Check with your advisor to see if any apply.<\/li>\n<li>Writing Intensive Requirement (five courses): \u00a0two writing intensive courses in the general education curriculum are required: Critical Reading and Writing and Studies in the Arts and Humanities the other three courses are taken in the major.<\/li>\n<li>Not all courses are offered each semester. \u00a0Please check the current Schedule of Classes for semester course offerings.<\/li>\n<li>The Career Pathways Program requirements must be completed prior to graduation.\u00a0 Visit the Cahill Career Center.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h5 align=\"center\"><strong>SOCIAL WORK MAJOR<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"courseTable\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"majorTableHeading\">Subject &amp; Course # &#8211; Title &amp; Course Description<\/li>\n<li class=\"majorTableSubHeading\">GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS<\/li>\n<li><strong>REQUIRED &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong><a id=\"69d93c905cb8e\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.ramapo.edu\/courses\/CRWT102\" target=\"_blank\">CRWT 102 -
