This program is not a major in itself but can be combined with any Millsaps major.

At Millsaps, students preparing for a professional career in social work benefit most from building on the College’s broad liberal arts program with a major in one of the social sciences, preferably sociology-anthropology. Courses such as Introduction to Sociology, Introduction to Anthropology, Marriage and Family, and Social Stratification are essential. Other courses that are strongly recommended include Sociology of Human Interaction, Theories of Personality, and Social Psychology. Internships with community social welfare agencies, widely available in the Jackson area, provide invaluable professional experience.
