Social Work, Minor
The Social Work minor offers students who major in another field the opportunity to explore the field of social work and to develop skills necessary to identify and respond to community needs. Students will work directly with a group within the community (government, non-profit, or resident) to develop skills that will benefit students seeking to enter advocacy roles in nonprofit organizations, work with local community groups, or work with a government agency. Also, the minor in Social Work provides the basic knowledge necessary to pursue graduate studies in this field and other fields related to the minor.
