Social workers should be emotionally mature, objective, and sensitive to people and their problems. They must be able to handle responsibility, work independently, and maintain good working relationships with clients and coworkers.

Typical practice involves diverse groups of people of various ages with different social and cultural backgrounds and life situations. All states have licensing, certification, or registration requirements regarding social work practice.

Social work is a profession for those with a strong desire to improve people’s lives. Social workers often create a framework for people to develop capacities and strengths that enhance their relationships and social functioning. Professionals in this human services field usually specialize in some area of clinical or community-based practice. Others conduct research or are involved in planning and policy development. The BSC Social Work program prepares students with core courses toward a bachelor’s degree in social work.

Jobs for healthcare and mental health/substance abuse social worker jobs will grow up to 27 percent, much faster than the average for all occupations, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
