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.
