Overview

This Social Work degree at the Bowling Green State University sets you on a path to becoming a leader capable of contributing to solutions for the challenges facing our society.

Our program provides a blend of online, face-to-face and evening courses tailored to meet the needs of working professionals and newly graduated students. A low student-to-teacher ratio provides opportunities for quality connections between students and faculty, and small cohorts mean students receive personalized attention.

We offer a highly professional and supportive learning environment designed to ensure student success as highly competent social work practitioners.
