The mission of the Bachelor of Social Work degree program is to provide students with the knowledge, skills, values, and interests to promote human and community well-being through public service and entry-level generalist social work practice. The JSU BSW Program will guide students with a personal and environmental construct, a global perspective, respect for human diversity, and knowledge based on scientific inquiry. The JSU BSW Program will instill in students the quest for social and economic justice; the prevention of conditions that limit human rights; the elimination of poverty, and the enhancement of the quality of life for all persons. Through partnerships of service and with a central focus of being a regionally responsive, community-based, and practice-centered program guided by social work ethics and values, the program also seeks to provide leadership to social work practice and education in the community, state, region, and the nation.
