School of Social Work
The Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) Program at Sacred Heart University boasts a rigorous Generalist Practice curriculum grounded in the liberal arts. Founded in the 1980s, the BSW is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). The plan of study immerses students in the theory and practice of social work across the full variety of social work settings, and introduces practice roles from casework to community advocacy and organizing to politics and campaigning. The BSW is an inter-professional, global program, incorporating prerequisites and related studies in psychology, sociology, government, statistics, and criminal justice, and teaching engagement, assessment and intervention skills in campus classrooms and in such far distant places as Costa Rica, India and Ireland. Noted by the CSWE for our vanguard dedication to comprehensive practice integration, the BSW program prepares students to think critically, advance human rights, and defend the dignity and work of every human being.
