The Division of Social Work at the University of Memphis offers two degree programs. The Bachelors of Arts in Social Work program is fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).  The Master of Social Work program is currently in the first step toward the initial CSWE accreditation process.

The goal of the BASW program is to train entry-level social workers for generalist practice.  The program defines “generalist social work” as a comprehensive orientation to all client problems, and a comprehensive approach to the range of client systems.

The mission of the MSW Program is to educate advanced professional social workers for practice with at-risk populations, particularly children and families.  The program’s many goals include producing graduates who possess advanced knowledge, values and skills to provide leadership with and on behalf of children and families.

Field placement is essential to both the Bachelors and Master degree programs in the Division of Social Work, as a way to help students integrate their academic learning and to understand and develop good social work skills for entering the profession.

The Division of Social Work is housed in the School of Urban Affairs & Public Policy (SUAPP) and is part of the College of Arts & Sciences.
