Social Work Professional Major The major in social work, leading to the Bachelor of Social Work BSW degree, offers a significant opportunity for students who seek careers in the human services. The BSW program prepares students for entry-level professional practice in social work and provides educational preparation applicable to a wide range of positions in the human services. It also provides preparation for graduate social work education and informed citizenship. Graduates of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay BSW degree program secure positions in programs serving populations in need, including the elderly, children and their families, persons with developmental and other disabilities, the economically dependent, juvenile and adult offenders, and substance dependent persons. Social work majors may elect to enroll in a child welfare sequence and receive a stipend. The sequence will prepare students for careers in child welfare practice. Stipends for practice placements in public and tribal child welfare agencies are available selectively to qualified students. For more information on the requirements contact the Office of Social Work. The BSW program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. Revised January 15, 2009
