The Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College launched its Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) Program in Fall 2016. The BSW Program is open to matriculated Hunter College students with a credit range of 55 - 80 credits. The program offers students the opportunity to link theory and practice by participating in a robust curriculum and established field placements. Students learn the core skills of assessment, engagement, intervention, advocacy, and documentation through a generalist practice lens. The BSW Program will prepare undergraduate students to become knowledgeable, caring front line workers in areas of Child Welfare and Care Coordination; and it will prepare them to enter Master of Social Work (MSW) programs with advanced standing in the future. More details about the BSW Program can be found here.
