Winston-Salem State University Social Work Program

The Social Work Program at Winston-Salem State University will seek to provide a generalist (broad-based) level of preparation intended to equip undergraduates with competencies, such as critical thinking skills, which are needed to work with diverse individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Students will receive high quality instruction from seasoned professors who hold terminal degrees and graduate degrees in the field. Student instruction will be based on an interdisciplinary/liberal-arts curriculum that includes courses in Human Behavior, Social Work Practice, Mathematics, Economics, Psychology, Research Methods, Music/Art, Field Education, Science, History, and Sociology. Furthermore, because of the ethnic diversity of our local community, the Social Work Program at Winston-Salem State University will strive to help its graduates integrate knowledge and ethical values with social work skills in order to promote an effective and culturally competent practice.
