Welcome to the Social Work (BSW) Program!
At the heart of the social work profession lies a commitment to enhancing human well-being and addressing the basic needs of all individuals. With a particular focus on empowering those who are vulnerable, oppressed, or living in poverty, social workers play a vital role in creating positive change within communities.
