Program Description
Social Work students learn to provide professional services for emotionally, economically or socially disadvantaged persons.
This introductory level program will acquaint students to the multi-faceted, multi-skilled Social Work profession. Students will learn theories of intervention that are used in the provision of services to emotionally, economically, mentally, physically or socially disadvantaged persons. The program also encourages internships where the student will learn to apply and further understand theoretical frameworks discussed in class.
Career Opportunities
Individuals with an Associate’s Degree in Social Work can be employed as an intake worker or in other support roles within the social work environment. The social work associate’s degree is primarily designed to prepare students for successful transfer to a bachelor of social work program at a college or university.

Licensure Information
The Social Work AS program alone does not lead to professional licensure. This program prepares students for application and transfer to other programs of study that could eventually lead to professional licensure. Professional licensure requirements vary from state-to-state. Here is one suggested website for researching state licensure requirements: License Finder sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor. If you have difficulty finding the licensure requirements for your state or intended profession, please contact your academic advisor or SLCC’s state authorization coordinator for help.
