It enables the undergraduate professional to practice social work in a variety of settings. These settings include hospitals, schools, mental health centers, and other public and private human service agencies. The degree allows the practicing social worker to become eligible for professional licensing in some states, including Arkansas. As well as being the entry-level professional degree, the social work major offers a good foundation for students<br \/>\nwho seek graduate-level professional education. The social work major can prepare students for advanced degrees in disciplines such as social work, psychology, counseling, and other helping fields. The social work program at SAU is grounded in the generalist practice model and works within a multidisciplinary department. It allows the student preparing for a professional practice the exposure to varied disciplines as well as the preparation in social work education.<\/p>\n<h3>Criteria for Admission to the Social Work Program<\/h3>\n<p>When applying to the <a href=\"https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/socialwork\/\">Social Work Program<\/a>, a student must have completed the following:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>At least 30 hours of the general education requirements.<\/li>\n<li>The Social Work Program application located on the SAU webpage under LPA\/BSS.<\/li>\n<li>An earned overall GPA of at least 2.5 and a Social Work GPA of at least 3.0.<\/li>\n<li>Introduction to Social Work, Social Policy, Cultural Diversity, Human Behavior, and Social Environment I or II.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Criteria for Admission to the Social Work Field Practicum<\/h3>\n<p>When applying to the Social Work Field Practicum, a student must have completed the following:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Student must have been accepted into the <a href=\"https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/socialwork\/\">Social Work Program<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Social Work GPA of at least 3.2.<\/li>\n<li>Complete the Social Work Field application (contact Social Work Field Director).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div id=\"learning-goals\" class=\"alert alert-info\">\n<h3>CSWE Social Work Competencies<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Demonstrate ethical and professional behavior<\/li>\n<li>Engage diversity and difference in practice<\/li>\n<li>Advance human rights and social, economic, and environmental justice<\/li>\n<li>Engage in practice-informed research and research-informed practice<\/li>\n<li>Engage in policy practice<\/li>\n<li>Engage with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities<\/li>\n<li>Assess individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities<\/li>\n<li>Intervene with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities<\/li>\n<li>Evaluate practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\">people, human, service, substance, abuse, mental, health, child, welfare, school<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<br \/><center><div class='action-buttons'><a class=\"button apply prog\" href=\"https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/apply\" \/>Apply Now<\/a><a class=\"button view prog\" href=\"https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/academics\/degrees\" \/>View All Programs<\/a><\/div><\/center><\/div><script>\njQuery('#program-tab a').click(function (e) {\n  e.preventDefault()\n  jQuery('.tab-content .tab-pane').removeClass('active in');\n  jQuery(this).tab('show')\n})\n  jQuery('.nav li a').click(function(e) {\n\n        jQuery('.nav li.active').removeClass('active');\n\n        var $parent = jQuery(this).parent();\n        $parent.addClass('active');\n        e.preventDefault();\n    });\n<\/script>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":564,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"program-mirror","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":{"0":"post-16","1":"page","2":"type-page","3":"status-publish","5":"entry"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/socialwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/socialwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/socialwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/socialwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/564"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/socialwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/socialwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":165,"href":"https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/socialwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16\/revisions\/165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/socialwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
