Social work is a dynamic profession based on knowledge, practice skills, research, and professional values. It has a code of ethics, practice standards, and a national system of accreditation. The profession unites the commitment to help others with the skill and knowledge needed to provide that help. The Department of Criminal Justice and Social Work offers a BSW where social workers display an informed passion to improve the quality of life for others, especially for vulnerable populations. The BSW degree program prepares students for professional entry-level generalist practice in the social work profession, for entry-level state licensure, and for further education. The Council on Social Work Education has continuously accredited the social work program at Murray State University since 1974.
