Pre-Social Work

Students who wish to prepare for a professional career in social work should plan a broad liberal arts program with a major in one of the social sciences, preferably sociology-anthropology. Introduction to Sociology, Introduction to Anthropology, Marriage and Family, and Social Stratification are essential. Other courses which are strongly recommended include Sociology of Human Interaction, Theories of Personality, and Social Psychology. Internships can provide valuable practical experience with community social welfare agencies. Students are urged to consult with their faculty advisers to plan a schedule.
