Undergraduate Degrees
Social Work
The accelerated bachelor’s degree in Social Work program provides students with foundational knowledge and experience to support human rights, social justice, access to resources and well-being in all people, particularly those with marginalized identities. Students will learn real-world skills to support individuals, families, groups, and communities to address their challenges. The program provides hands-on learning through over 400 hours in social service internships and prepares students to be culturally competent, compassionate, and effective in making a difference with vulnerable populations. Graduates are prepared to immediately enter the workforce in careers such as child welfare, direct care, CBRS, Behavioral Intervention, adoptions, community outreach, and case managers. An ABA in Social Work allows students to move directly into an advanced placement in an MSW graduate program which allows them to work in clinical behavioral health settings, school social work, substance abuse counseling, and other roles.
Northwest Nazarene University’s social work program is nationally accredited at the undergraduate and graduate level by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).
