Can I obtain a masters in social work with a B.A. in sociology?
any of our graduates go on to earn an M.S.W. and are currently practicing social workers. A significant number of students who attend M.S.W. programs nationwide do not have a B.S.W. M.S.W. programs want their students to succeed and the programs design the first year of study to educate the students about the profession and theories. Sociology is an excellent foundation for pursuing an M.S.W., because it offers a broad perspective that can be applied across multiple populations in generalist social work practice. The department’s social work field experience is an invaluable opportunity to gain practical experience, and is just one way that sociology majors at UD can explore research, theory, diversity, and collective action that will lead to a strong foundation for an M.S.W.
