The Social Work Program at Saint Mary’s College is accredited as a baccalaureate degree program by the Council on Social Work Education that qualifies students for state licensure examinations.
For career advancement, students are encouraged to pursue the Master of Social Work degree. Doctoral degrees in Social Work (PhD or DSW) provide additional training in practice and academic settings. By completing the Social Work major, students may be eligible for advanced standing in nationally recognized graduate schools that actively recruit graduating Social Work seniors from this professional program. Advanced standing in MSW programs, including Saint Mary's, allows students to complete their graduate MSW degrees in one instead of two years.
The Social Work Program mentors women into career trajectories for leadership in a variety of fields, including psychotherapy with children and families, medical social work, law and social policy, administration, global/international social work, organizational social work, gerontology, community social work, school social work, government social work, peacebuilding, and forensic social work/criminal justice. 480 hours of social work field practicum is completed in the senior year at a local social service setting.

Such requirements may also apply to required clinical and fieldwork, or other out-of-class room experience necessary to complete degree requirements in the majors related to these professions. These requirements are determined by laws and regulations at both the state and federal levels and are subject to change. Saint Mary’s College strongly urges all admitted and current students to research and understand the appropriate requirements for their intended course of study and profession. Compliance with these requirements is the responsibility of the student and the graduate. You should become informed and continue to monitor such requirements as laws and other legal requirements are subject to change.

The following form is a guide for planning your Social Work curriculum with your advisor. Indicate semester/year for all courses planned to be taken. Note that some courses may not be offered each semester. The required Social Work courses during junior and senior years are noted in the planner. It is highly recommended that all your Sophia Requirements be met by the end of your junior year.
The Social Work Major requires a student to complete a total of 57-58 credit hours comprised of required courses, electives, and field practicum to receive a Bachelor of Social Work degree (BSW).
The four-year plan below illustrates the Social Work required courses only that satisfy the Sophia requirements. For example, the LO1 Professional Arts, and LO3 Social Responsibility A and LO3 Social Responsibility B is included in the following SW required courses: SW 202, SW 235 and SW 340. This would count as both a required course and a Sophia requirement. In addition, the SW 202 also includes the LO2 Women’s Voices, and if taken in the first semester of your first year, it is a Critical Thinking course as well. The SW 340 also satisfies the LO3 Intercultural Competence A as well.
Courses may overlap with some of the same Sophia attributes, but there are others that meet the Global Learning A, Social Science II, or the Academic Experiential Learning requirements. The SW 238 course includes the LO1 Professional Arts, LO3 Social Responsibility A and LO3 Global Learning A, while the SW 334 includes the LO1 Social Science II, LO3 Social Responsibility A, and LO3 Social Responsibility B. Senior Year, the SW 487 course counts as a LO3 Academic Experiential Learning, too!
The examples above include the Sophia requirements from the Social Work required courses, yet there are Social Work elective and Supporting Required courses that also include Sophia requirements that should be considered.
If you intend to double major, please meet with advisors from both disciplines as some courses could conflict with each other that may allow altering decisions to make.
