About

This is a TSAP program.

The IU School of Social Work's Bachelor of Social Work (B.S.W.) program offers a strong introduction to the social work profession through applied, student‑centered learning.

The program is structured around core competencies and places field education at the heart of the experience, allowing you to connect coursework with practice.

You will learn to engage with individuals, families, groups, and communities while developing skills for advocacy and ethical practice.

Classes also introduce research and evaluation tools used to assess programs and improve outcomes at multiple system levels.

Program highlights:

  • Competency-based curriculum built for generalist social work roles
  • Field education integrated as a central learning component
  • Preparation to engage diverse populations and communities
  • Emphasis on advocacy, research, and ethical decision‑making
  • Strong preparation for careers or advanced standing in an M.S.W. program
