At Bridgewater
College, the minor in Social Work is a pre-professional program that
introduces the student to the unique dimensions, broad based approaches,
and multiple skills required within the field of social work.
Students
who are grounded in a strong liberal arts tradition, and are preparing for
employment and/or graduate work in the profession of social work, will
find the minor provides a strong foundation for their long range academic
and career goals. While
a
minor
in social work is open to all majors at Bridgewater College, a major in
Sociology best compliments the minor.
Effective social work practice depends upon a combination of
critical thinking skills, an understanding of the inter-relatedness of
micro and macro perspectives, and a concern for social justice.
Social Work is unique among the helping professions because it
simultaneously addresses the concerns of the individual and the social
context in which she lives. Social Workers, as professionals, are committed to both
compassionate care and social change at the local and global level.
