Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work (BSW)
Social workers bring value to a variety of settings and industries because they act with compassion. They seek to meet people where they are and advocate for them in meaningful ways because they have a heart for making a difference for others.
At Huntington University, we have the added benefit of seeing others through the lens of Christ’s love for them. We work hard to support you so that you can support others in ways that meet their needs.
Wherever you work, pursue a career of compassion.
A few words about the Bachelor of Social Work degree...
