Are you passionate about social justice? Do you dream of empowering at-risk individuals and families? Do you see yourself as a leader or in a teaching role?

Bridgewater State University’s School of Social Work offers the largest bachelor’s in social work program in Massachusetts along with a popular master’s in social work program — both of which are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. With a curriculum grounded in service learning, BSU’s social work programs offer intensive fieldwork and mentoring by our accomplished faculty.

Prepare for a meaningful career as change maker through undergraduate and graduate social work programs that feature:

Internships that provide crucial field experience. Complete a year-long internship as part of your bachelor’s in social work program. Students in BSU’s social work master’s program supervise progress in areas like child welfare and addiction services.
Devoted faculty. Learn from BSU’s diverse faculty, who have extensive teaching and field experience. They boast expertise in areas such as aging and immigration, coordination of care and mental health.
Student engagement opportunities. Join Phi Alpha, the national honor society for social work, or the Social Work Student Advisory Group, and take advantage of our social work alumni network.
