The social work program at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point is designed to prepare students for entry-level professional work and graduate study. Our program prepares students to serve individuals, families and groups in a range of settings, including rural and tribal communities. Our social work program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). All CSWE programs measure and report student learning outcomes. Students are assessed on their mastery of the competencies that comprise the accreditation standards of CSWE. Upon graduation, students are eligible for their social work certification through the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services. Bachelor’s level social workers are eligible for entry-level employment in a variety of practice areas including child and family, mental health, substance abuse, medical, aging, disabilities and criminal justice. Examples of specific job titles include child protective services worker, foster care case manager, aging and disability specialist, crisis counselor, mental health case manager, discharge planner, nursing home social worker and job coach. Students are encouraged to start exploring career options early in their academic careers so they know their options by graduation.
