To provide transformative and collaborative learning that embraces the values of social inclusion and promotes enhanced quality of life for individuals and communities. 

The University of New England Bachelor’s in Social Work degree prepares generalist social work professionals for employment in a wide and varied range of social service, health, mental health, and community-based settings. BSW-prepared social workers acquire critical thinking and problem-solving skills to work effectively with a range of individuals and diverse populations. The program instills values that foster students’ commitment to support individuals, families, and communities to improve their lives.  Students will also develop the skills to participate in transforming lives by promoting social justice, cultural diversity and human dignity.  BSW graduates are committed to lifelong learning and to working in partnership with others to improve the quality of life for all people. As BSW graduate, it is possible to accelerate into our MSW program and complete your Master's degree in one year.   Experiential education is one of the hallmarks of social work education and is realized through two sequential Field Practicum courses; BSW 410 and BSW 440. Both courses provide 450 hours over two semesters in agency/organization settings.
