Social workers advocate for equitable treatment, support vulnerable populations, strengthen community bonds, and enhance quality of life. This meaningful vocation offers fulfilling career opportunities across diverse settings such as medical facilities, educational institutions, shelters, senior care centers, and charitable organizations. Georgia State's social work bachelor's degree equips graduates for beginner positions with these employers while laying the foundation for future advanced social work studies. Our program emphasizes nine core competencies aligned with Georgia's accreditation standards and professional licensing requirements.
Prospective social work majors initially enroll as exploratory students, gaining full admission only after completing the formal application process. The exploratory designation applies to those still completing foundational coursework or working to meet academic benchmarks. Upon acceptance, students progress through the curriculum, which incorporates essential hands-on field training components.
