The Social Work, B.S. degree is designed to provide the professional foundation that gives students specific social work theory, knowledge and skills. It is built upon a liberal arts base and provides individualized opportunities for personal and professional growth. Students work with their advisors to choose elective courses to develop their specific interests. The Social Work club plans student-directed activities that increase opportunities to explore the nature of the profession. Through their academic experiences, students become better-rounded, responsible individuals who possess a spirit of inquiry, critical thinking and helping skills, and have the ability to use the self appropriately in relationships with others.
The State University of New York at Fredonia is committed to doing our part to provide each student a clear path to graduation.
