B.A., Sociology
Social Welfare and Social Justice
The Social Welfare and Social Justice Option is intended to provide students with knowledge and skills necessary for entry professional-level employment working within various social service settings, such as hospitals, probation and parole, public welfare, community planning and mental health organizations. Central to our mission statement is our focus on promoting anti-oppressive social work practice and preparing students to be agents of social change in order to strive for ending discrimination, oppression and enhancing human well-being through education, research and community service. Students planning to pursue this option are encouraged to seek advisement prior to their junior year if possible. Students wishing to declare this option as their major should plan to do so in their junior year and are required to see an advisor in the option at least once each semester in order to plan their course load. Students must apply for the SOC 475AS/AF field study internship courses the Spring semester prior to Fall semester placement.
