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.

Classes emphasize experiential learning through the application of concepts and skills in agency or community settings, and our curriculum offers a specialization in gerontological social work. We offer a highly professional and supportive learning environment designed to ensure student success as highly competent social work practitioners.
