BA in Social Work

The Bachelor of Arts in Social Work program seeks to train entry-level social work practitioners and prepare them to meet the growing, unique and varied social service needs of the diverse communities of Brooklyn and the greater New York area. These practitioners will have strong clinical, advocacy and administrative skills that they will put to use in community-based organizations across the region. The first accredited social work program in Brooklyn, the B.A. in Social Work places emphasis on working with the growing geriatric population; with racially, ethnically and socially diverse groups; and with immigrant populations.
