Website: https://socialwork.rutgers.edu/academics/bachelor-arts-social-work-basw

Dean: Cathryn C. Potter, B.A., Georgia; M.S.W., Washington; Ph.D., Denver

Director of B.A. Social Work Program: V. DuWayne Battle, B.A., Barton College; M.Div., D.Min., Southeastern Theological Seminary; M.S.W., Ph.D., Rutgers


The major in social work is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. Students who successfully complete the program receive a bachelor of arts degree from the School of Arts and Sciences. The program prepares students for beginning-level generalist social work practice. The focus for practice addresses work with special populations including the poor, the oppressed, and other at-risk groups. Participants are expected to acquire the knowledge base, professional ethics, values, and skills to work effectively within individual, family, group, organizational, and community levels of practice. The program also prepares students for graduate study in social work and related fields.

Students apply to the major in the spring semester of their sophomore year, as they near the completion of approximately 60 credits of coursework. If accepted, students are admitted to begin the major courses in the fall semester at the beginning of their junior year. A cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 is required for acceptance into the program. Information and the application can be found at: https://socialwork.rutgers.edu/admissions/bachelor-arts-social-work-basw.

Following acceptance into the program, all social work majors are assigned a faculty adviser within the School of Social Work. To continue in this major, students must maintain a 3.0 grade-point average in social work courses. In order to graduate, students must have grades of C or better with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 in all social work core-content courses and a 2.0 cumulative grade-point average in the courses making up the liberal arts foundation.
