BSW Degree In Social Work

A new degree program, a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work, will soon be offered at UHD. This program is the result of the support of many people in the Department of Social Sciences and CHSS. The degree has been spearheaded by Drs. Jo Bailey and Dawn McCarty, faculty members in the Social Sciences department.

Both professors are excited about this new opportunity and the setting UHD will provide for this degree. Only two local universities offer the BSW, and students of UHD will have the advantage of a centrally located university as well as exposure to a diverse student body and a vibrant urban environment from which to learn.
