BSW Program Student Guide

About the Student Guide

The Baccalaureate Social Work Program’s Student Guide is for
individuals considering or currently enrolled in undergraduate study
in social work at UMBC. The guide is not intended to substitute for
the UMBC catalog or advising sessions with a faculty member. Rather,
it serves as a resource and reference book covering many important
topics, including course sequencing and the program’s general
functioning.

Later in the educational process, students entering their senior
field placement year will also have access to the

Field Education Manual
, which provides an added resource for
continued development in becoming a social worker.

The current edition of the Student Guide is available as a PDF.
We recommend saving a copy for easy reference throughout your time
in the program.
