Program overview

What Auburn University at Montgomery says about their program:

As a social worker, there are many ways you could care for the wellbeing of others. The National Association of Social Workers defines social work as “the professional activity of helping individuals, families, groups or communities enhance or restore their capacity for social functioning or creating societal conditions favorable to that goal.”

With a national job growth projection of 12% over the next decade, social workers can choose to work in settings such as schools, mental health clinics, child welfare and human service agencies, hospitals, nursing homes, substance abuse centers and others. The state of Alabama has identified social work as an area of critical need.

To get the educational foundation you need for this profession, AUM provides a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program as the concluding phase of a two-phase curriculum. In the first phase, you’ll be enrolled in the Pre-Social Work concentration of the Sociology bachelor’s degree program. Upon completion, you’ll be able to apply for admission into the BSW program, which is designed to take another two years to complete, depending on class loads and other factors.
