BS in Psychology (online)
Continuing Studies offers the Psychology degree at night and fully online. Students in our online degree programs are not limited to online courses only. Our students may enroll in on-campus or hybrid courses in pursuit of their degree.
BSU's psychology curriculum encompasses a strong liberal arts foundation, ensuring a well-rounded education. While some psychology majors may choose to become psychologists, the career paths for someone with such skills and knowledge are numerous. Students benefit from a faculty that is well-rounded with expertise in social, biological, clinical, cognitive and developmental psychology.
Bachelor of Social Work (night program)
The BSW night degree program will offer two social work courses each semester in the fall and spring over a three-year period. Social work students, alumni, staff and faculty work together to advance social justice by empowering individuals, groups, organizations and communities to engage positively in situations of crisis. Established in 1980, the BSU Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program is the largest program of its kind in Massachusetts.
Students engage in hands-on experience and learn through a combination of classroom learning, intensive field education and professional mentoring by faculty. Our students graduate with professional practice competencies in the knowledge, skills, values and ethics of social work.
Bridgewater State University's BSW and MSW programs are fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education.
