What Will I Learn?
The associate of arts in pre-social work program is designed to prepare students to transfer into a four-year bachelor of social work (BSW) program. Students who excel in social work are characterized by active listening skills, critical thinking, interpersonal skills and altruism.
Career Paths
Students planning a career in social work will be prepared to move on to a four-year college/university to complete a bachelor's degree. The general education and pre-social work requirements vary among colleges, so students should check with the social work advisor for the specific requirements of the college to which they are planning to transfer.
Students will also be prepared to enter the workforce in an entry level position related to that course of study, for example, clinical assistant, social work assistant and residential care assistant.
