Good morning advisers!

Do you have students who are interested in furthering social, racial, and economic justice? Who are passionate about helping others and in search of a major? Encourage them to consider a BA in Social Welfare (BASW)! Our BASW program trains students for entry-level positions in the helping professions and prepares them to take action against injustice and inequalities.

If students are interested in learning more, we'll be hosting a virtual information session next week where students can learn more about our program, the application process, and how to get in touch with us! Feel free to direct any questions about the program or application process to our admissions team at uwsocialwork at uw.edu<mailto:uwsocialwork at uw.edu>.
