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!
