Bachelor of Social Work
Curriculum
The Bachelor of Social Work degree is a four-year program. The first two years are designed to allow students to complete general education requirements, explore the profession of social work, and prepare for the required curriculum which begins in the junior year.
The junior and senior years comprise the required curriculum and include both coursework and field education in the senior year.
Each student is assigned to a social service agency to work under the supervision of a field instructor, a social worker employed by that agency. Typically, field placement hours must be scheduled sometime during the work week (i.e. Monday through Friday, 8am – 5pm); there are no field placements available with exclusively evening or weekend hours.
Information for students continuing after fall 2012
The University of Cincinnati is converting to a semester system in the fall of 2012. The BSW program curriculum has been redesigned to reflect that change. Continuing students should work with their academic advisors to develop an individual education plan.
