Help others help themselves through Social Work

If you have a desire to help others, the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree at IU East can provide you the knowledge, skills, and ethics to become a social worker.

Social workers help people identify and resolve problems—both personal and those related to the social environment―and enjoy a better life. You can become an advocate for children and adults who are victims of abuse, while you work to promote social and economic justice.

As a social worker, you can work in a variety of settings, including hos­pitals, social service agencies, schools, youth centers, mental health or sub­stance abuse facilities, nursing homes, and others. A degree in social work from IU East can put you on the path to a fulfilling career helping others.
