Social Work is a multi-faceted profession concerned with change on an individual, community,national and international level. Within the framework of a liberal arts tradition, Elizabethtown’s Social Work program prepares the student for entry into professional social work practice or graduate school. The program is based on an understanding of generalist practice, which allows the graduate to choose from a wide range of social service careers.
The major in Social Work recognizes both the rural and urban environments of the Elizabethtown College community and seeks to prepare students for professional social work practice in either setting. The program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education.
The program provides an extensive opportunity for field experience beginning in the first year. The major culminates with 600 hours of field instruction during the student’s senior year. Field experiences are arranged to meet the student’s individual interest. Field experiences include but are not limited to such areas as child welfare,corrections, mental health, rehabilitation, health care, schools and aging.
