The Social Work Program prepares students with knowledge, values, ethics, and skills to help individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. The program starts with a liberal arts and diversity awareness foundation. Students learn how to apply research to practice and advocate for social and economic justice.
Social workers tackle tough issues. They impact the world in a variety of settings: schools, social and human service agencies, healthcare facilities, child care agencies, correctional facilities, nursing homes, community based independent living programs, mental health centers, state and federal government positions.
The undergraduate degree in social work at The University of South Dakota is the state's only accredited Social Work Program at a public University. Students practice in the community under the supervision of professional social workers for a full semester and graduate with a bachelor of science degree. Graduates are ready for generalist practice, or graduate school with advanced standing status.
