The New Social Work Minor

Do you want to expand your job opportunities?

The new minor is a great complement to other majors in that it offers students skills in policy analysis, communication, cultural competence, group dynamics, assessment and intervention as well as an understanding of the importance of social context.

Majors in criminal justice, psychology, education, pharmacy, and other allied disciplines should find it particularly helpful in their job searches and in their later work.

Social Work faculty member Claudia Dewane has article published in Social Work Today

As a faculty member at a school of social work, I was excited to participate in a social work/Spanish immersion program in Costa Rica this past summer. My 19-year-old daughter, who is studying international relations in college, accompanied me. The program, cosponsored by the National Association of Social Workers - California and Norfolk State University School of Social Work, provides an opportunity for social workers, students, and others to have a comprehensive learning experience with a primary focus on Latino culture. Developing Spanish language skills and learning about Latino social issues and service delivery were the goals.
