About Dual Degree - Bachelor of Arts - Social Work & Master of Social Work (4 + 1)
The Bachelor of Arts in Social Work (BSW) program at Sacred Heart offers a unique commitment to integrated practice built upon an anti-racist foundation. In addition to equipping our students with diverse curricular and field experiences, the Bachelor of Arts in Social Work program challenges students to engage and intervene with larger community and political concerns that can cause or alleviate human suffering among individuals, communities and global societies. Students are encouraged to understand themselves as agents of positive change in the world, committed to justice and equipped to defend the dignity and worth of all human beings. The program has been fully accredited by the council on Social Work Education since 1981, with a commitment to educate undergraduate students for responsible, ethical, and competent entry-level generalist social work practice.
Students apply to the dual degree program as incoming freshmen and are admitted directly into the graduate program at the same time as their admission as undergraduate students. Dual degree students are guaranteed a place in the Master of Social Work program provided they continue, as undergraduate students, to meet program-specific criteria to progress into enrollment in the graduate program. Dual degree students, therefore, have a space reserved for them in the graduate program beginning in their first year, with clear criteria and achievements required to progress into the graduate program.
Combined with advice from their undergraduate academic advisor, students’ engagement with the School of Social Work, and participation in activities offered by the Master of Social Work program program provide strong support toward successful progression into graduate study.
