Social Work Department

Overview

The nationally accredited Social Work Program at McDaniel College prepares students for entry-level, culturally sensitive, generalist practice with individuals, families, small groups, communities and organizations. Through coursework, field education, and a rich learning environment, students gain the knowledge, skills, values and training needed to work effectively with vulnerable and at-risk populations. Graduates can move directly into social work positions, are eligible for state licensure and qualify for advanced standing at most graduate schools of Social Work.
