The K-State department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work offers its Social Work bachelor’s degree program on the K-State Salina campus. 

Social work is concerned with the interaction between people and their social environments. Social workers help people deal with other people, cope with the many social and environmental forces that affect and control daily life, and help solve problems that inhibit growth and development.

The undergraduate social work program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education to educate entry-level, generalist social work practitioners. The social work major is required for students who intend to pursue a career in social work in Kansas and in many other states. The major is also beneficial to students who plan to work with people through their professions.

The bachelor’s degree in social work is recognized as a beginning-level professional degree. Students graduating from the social work program are eligible for licensure as bachelor degree social workers in Kansas and numerous other states. No other bachelor’s degree is recognized, or necessary, for such eligibility. Students who wish to pursue graduate studies in social work will be eligible for advanced standing in many masters of social work (MSW) programs throughout the United States.

Students undergo a formal review process prior to entering the social work practice sequence in their junior year. In order to enter the practice sequence, students must have a 2.3 overall GPA and a 2.75 GPA in the core social work courses and meet the overall performance standards of the program.
