Key Facts
This specific social work degree program at Indiana Wesleyan University prepares students to help people in a variety of places, from schools to hospitals and more social work settings. When children and youth find themselves in a situation of abuse and neglect, or are affected by crime or developmental delays, they need professional services to speak and act on their behalf. Professionals in social work often represent marginalized populations, advocate for social justice, and help create better policies and practices to serve individuals and communities impacted by child neglect and abuse through social services and social work practice. The online BSW program creates culturally competent social workers ready for entry-level practice to approach clients and their families in a helpful way.
