The department offers a broadfield major in social work which is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education and leads to the Bachelor of Social Work degree.

An undergraduate major in this field prepares a student for entry-level generalist social work practice and for entry into a graduate school of social work. Graduates are educationally prepared and eligible to sit for an exam to become licensed to practice professional generalist social work in Texas and many other states.

Social workers significantly affect the lives of many people. Members of the profession provide services to people of all ages, races, creeds and educational levels. The undergraduate professional curriculum is building upon and integrated with a liberal arts perspective. The required courses are planned to enable graduates to attain a beginning professional level of proficiency in generalist social work practice.
