Employment opportunities for students with social work degrees are increasing

Social work is a profession for those who find fulfillment and reward in making a difference in the everyday lives of individuals. Specifically, social workers help those in need of critical resources including: medical and mental health services, income maintenance, child welfare and protection, domestic violence intervention, and assistance for the elderly. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “employment of social workers is projected to grow 12 percent from 2014-2024, faster than the average for all occupations.”

MSU’s bachelor’s of social work will prepare you for entry-level professional practice as a general practitioner immediately upon your graduation. Our students go on to work for state, local, and regional social service agencies, including health, hospice and eldercare, rehabilitation, domestic violence shelters and substance abuse treatment centers.

MSU offers pre-law advising for students in every major

The American Bar Association does not recommend any specific undergraduate majors or group of courses to prepare for a legal education. Students at MSU who hope to attend law school can choose to major in a wide range of programs including history, English, philosophy, political science, economics or business. Legal studies faculty at MSU offer pre-law advising for students in any major to help them make successful applications to law school. 

Our pre-law advising will provide you with information related to law school preparation, the admissions process, notifications concerning campus visits from law schools, opportunities for LSAT preparation and more. If you are already enrolled at MSU, you can access advising information by adding the ‘pre.law’ code to your academic program. To add this code, speak with your academic advisor or email Heather McGuire at h.mcguire@moreheadstate.edu.
