Are you a big picture thinker?
Consider a macro major or minor and explore how a community and systems-level lens will prepare you for leadership roles in public and private sector organizations addressing critical social issues.
Do you value client empowerment and self-determination?
Our clinical major will provide you with the expertise to assess, diagnose, treat, and prevent a range of mental and behavioral illnesses.
Enrich your academic experience by selecting from one of our four specialization areas or pursue a dual degree in public health, theology, or education. Whatever your interest, BU School of Social Work’s innovative curriculum and dynamic field internship experience offers a variety of ways to focus your degree to meet your professional goals.
