Department of Social Work
Within the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, students can pursue a number of academic degree programs, including those available in the Department of Social Work.
Social workers are concerned with improving the health and quality of life of persons who are disconnected or excluded from larger society. Social workers engage in practice at all levels, from working with children to working with communities and governments. The profession and the program at Monmouth are particularly concerned with social and economic justice, the representation and support of vulnerable or oppressed segments of the population and direct action strategies to bring about positive change for the disenfranchised.
Monmouth University offers a bachelor's degree in social work (BSW) as well as a master's degree in social work (MSW). The Department of Social Work has developed BSW and MSW curricula focusing on three important themes:
- Strengths Perspective
- Empowerment Approach
- Families in a Global Context
MSW students select a specialization from two unique concentrations:
- Practice with Families and Children
- International and Community Development
