B.s. in social work in Stockton university

Social work is based on a set of values and ethical principles, such as respect for human dignity, that are articulated in its Code of Ethics. Since its beginnings more than one hundred years ago, social work has developed a body of knowledge and skills that focuses on meeting human needs, especially the needs of vulnerable and oppressed populations. Social workers intervene with systems of all sizes---individuals, families, groups and communities. Principles of social justice, human rights and cultural competence are fundamental to social work.The Stockton University Social Work Program's mission is to prepare undergraduate social work majors for generalist social work practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities by providing a broad-based, professional education that rests on a solid liberal arts foundation. The Program also seeks to serve the larger college community through Social Work and General Studies course offerings that have universal appeal to those seeking a better understanding of the human condition. The Program's central focus is on producing graduates who have a lifetime commitment to upholding human rights, respecting human diversity, and working towards social and economic justice in their professional and personal lives.

Community college transfer students who do not come from a human services/social work program may have to complete more than 64 credits at Stockton to satisfy the requirements for the degree in social work. This may require an additional one or two terms of academic work.
