Welcome to the Department of Social Work at Winthrop University. As a student-centered learning community, the Department follows the established core social work values of service, social justice, the dignity and worth of the person, the importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence.
We offer the following degree options to educate students to become generalist practice and advanced practice social workers:
-The Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree - Prepares students to move directly into social work positions in a wide range of settings with a focus in generalist practice.
-The Minor in Social Welfare - Designed for students interested in the general social welfare field who do not plan to enter into professional social work practice.
-The Master of Social Work (MSW) degree - Offers an advanced concentration in empowerment practice across systems (individuals and families, small groups, and communities and organizations). Full-Time, Advanced Standing, and Part-Time Programs are available.
The mission of the Winthrop University Department of Social Work is to educate students to become generalist social workers at the BSW level and advanced social work practitioners at the MSW level.
