  NEWS & EVENTS

 

The Bradley Social Work Program was accredited by the Council on Social Work Education in June 2002 and received retroactive accreditation to the 1999-2000 academic year. Our graduates are licensable in Illinois and most other states, and they receive advanced standing in most graduate schools of Social Work.

 

Our curriculum is firmly based on a liberal arts foundation. All of our social work courses are taught by professional social workers in social welfare, social work practice with individuals, groups, and organizations, social work topics, and community internships and field seminars. The requirements for our major also include selected sociology and psychology courses. For those who are interested, a second major in another field may also be possible along with the social work major. 

 

Many of our graduates have gone on to graduate school. Many have also been successfully employed in community social services, such as health care, child welfare, family services, aging, and corrections agencies. 

 

Students who enter our program receive considerable personal and individual attention. A social work faculty advisor is assigned to each student to advise about university and program requirements and to assist in planning course schedules for each semester. The advisor also follows the student's progress and is available to discuss course work, career options, graduate schools, internships, or other concerns about university life. 

 

There are a variety of student activities and organizations available at Bradley, including a student social service association (B.U.S.S.), and several honor societies. These provide opportunities to meet other students, pursue special interests, and participate in service projects. 

 

We intend to stay in contact with our majors even after they graduate. We will want to hear how their career or graduate studies are going, and will want to keep them informed about developments in our program and achievements of their classmates.
