About the program

Students extend beyond the undergraduate classroom as well, more than 80 percent of graduates going on to graduate and professional schools. The fully-accredited Social Work program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County is responsible for preparing social work professionals in generalist practices that explore every angle of individuals, families, groups, and communities through hands-on field placement and community outreach. With support from our faculty and experience from a wide variety of field placements, many of our alumni work at mental health and addiction agencies, schools, shelters, community-based programs, prisons, and health care and advocacy organizations.

Students enrolling in the Bachelor of Arts program in Social Work at UMBC-Shady Grove will complete approximately 45-60 credits study prior to entry and complete the remainder of their upper-level credits with UMBC-Shady Grove. Students may transfer a maximum of 60 credits from a community college and 90 credits from a four-year school to UMBC. Please visit UMBC’s Social Work Program Student Guide to learn more about the social work curriculum and the field education component of our program.

One unique aspect of the UMBC Social Work Program is the field placement program, which provides an experiential learning opportunity for students to work in a local agency under the supervision of a social worker. The social work degree also provides a pathway to licensure at the bachelor’s level and opportunities for graduate studies with the optional advanced standing that recognizes the successful completion of an undergraduate social work degree.
