Bachelor of Arts in Social Work

Program Overview

The purpose of the social work programme at Caribbean Nazarene College is to prepare students for the profession of social work. A diverse profession, social work offers a broad range of employment opportunities in numerous fields of practice.  The Social Work programme equips graduates to help meet the diverse needs of individuals, families, groups, churches, organizations, and communities in both faith-based and non-faith based agencies. Graduates of the social work programme will be prepared both for beginning professional practice and graduate social work education.  The social work programme curriculum is designed to include the content areas of social work practice, values and ethics, diversity and populations-at-risk, social and economic justice, research and evaluation, policy, and human behaviour in the social environment.

The curriculum design includes the following components: a Biblical and Theological Studies foundation, Humanities and Philosophical Studies foundation, a Liberal Arts foundation, the Social Work professional foundation, and the internship/practicum foundation.  The balance sought after produces a well-rounded professional graduate, prepared and fully competent to enter into the diverse environment of Social Work.
