Social Work
Social Work Education in the undergraduate level shall be geared towards the preparation of students for generalist social work practice. Professional education in social work requires the acquisition and application of beginning level of knowledge, attitudes, values and skills in enhancing the social functioning of individuals, families, groups, and communities, linking people [client systems] with needed resources, improving the operation of social service delivery networks, and promoting social justice through organizing and advocacy.
The BSSW curriculum must emphasize the integrative character of social work within the context of a micro to macro practice continuum, focusing on human development and social transformation. Underpinning social work education is the formation and inculcation of values, attitudes, and behaviors that are deeply rooted in the profession’s core values, philosophy, principles, and code of ethics.
Objectives
- To provide an atmosphere that is participation liberating;
- To train students for leadership roles in the field of social welfare and social work; and
- To develop competence in problem solving, matching needs with resources, and documenting the processes.
