As you look over these web pages, you will learn important information about the Bachelors
of Social Work Program and the importance placed on student learning through involvement in
and outside of the classroom .
The ULM Bachelors of Social Work Program has a proud tradition of social work education
for over thirty years. The Social Work Department at ULM has been accredited by the
Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) since 1977. Accreditation was reaffirmed
in June 2017 for the full eight-year-cycle ending October 2023. At that time, the
Social Work Department will again be under review for re-accreditation.
The mission of the University of Louisiana at Monroe Bachelors of Social Work Program
is to provide students with a specific body of knowledge, values, and professional
skills to prepare competent, generalist social work professionals who are committed
to identifying and affirming the historical principles, values and ethics of the social
work profession. The program seeks to educate and train students for professional
practice and for leadership roles in the social services and the social work profession.
The program also seeks to prepare social work students to work with society's diverse
populations, develop skills that promote social and economic justice, and build and
promote effective community services. This academically challenging social work program
is based on a liberal arts perspective which blends well with the beliefs, values,
and ethics of the social work profession.
The format of the Bachelors of Social Work Program changes as is dictated by the standards
of the Council on Social Work Education's goals for undergraduate social work education
and is defined by the ever-changing social environment.
Our program is structured so that continual re-evaluation and revision keep our curriculum
both current with the field of social work and keep it academically sound. The ULM
Bachelors of Social Work Program continues to grow and remains a viable program committed
to providing an academically challenging social work education. The future looks
bright as we continue to build excellence on a strong foundation from the past.
