A Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) is a four-year undergraduate degree program that prepares students for a career as a social worker. The program typically includes a combination of classroom instruction, fieldwork, and practical experience in various social service settings.

During the program, students learn about a wide range of social work topics, including social welfare policy, human behavior, research methods, ethics, and social work practice. They also gain practical experience working with individuals, families, and communities in various social service settings, such as schools, hospitals, government agencies, and non-profit organizations.
