Social Work The Bachelor of Social Work program honors students’ natural interest to help others and focuses on prevention and treatment of social problems, promoting well-being and service, and improving community and society through policy, research, and practice. The BSW program operationalizes core values of “service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence” as guided by the Code of Ethics of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW, 2008).
With contemporary curriculum grounded in professional social work education standards developed by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), liberal arts and Catholic Social Teaching, the Bachelor of Social Work program at Newman University prepares students for 21st-century social work micro, mezzo, and macro practice, as well as for admission to Advanced Standing MSW and other graduate school programs.
Mission: “Through excellence in teaching, research, and service, the mission of the Baccalaureate Social Work program at Newman University intends to prepare thoughtful, reflective, and compassionate generalist social work practitioners who are committed to professional ethics and values, service to others, and the promotion of peace, justice, and human rights; inclusive of diverse individuals, families, groups, and communities.”
Required Field Education: also called Practicum, is a fundamental component of the BSW degree. It is the “signature pedagogy of the social work profession” (CSWE, 2008) and is required for eligibility for licensure. Through field education, students experience fieldwork through agency and community placements that promote development of knowledge, values, and skills comprising professional social work practice. Field Practicum requires a two-semester placement and is concurrent with coursework during the senior year, with 16 hours per week (480 hours total), supervised by a social worker in the field setting.
BSW students must satisfy all of the requirements for either Concentration 1 or 2. Students must develop their plan of study carefully. Addiction Counseling courses are requirements for eligibility to obtain LAC licensure with the Kansas Behavioral Science Regulatory Board, with the BSW. License requirements differ in Colorado, students would need to visit with their advisor for Colorado regulation information.
