One of eight disciplines within the College of Health and Human Services, the BSW program is located in a supportive, collaborative environment with a strong focus on teaching as well as support for scholarship. Multiple interprofessional learning events and numerous outreach services enhance the student experience. Additionally, we value self-directed community involvement, inter-professional collaboration and active professional development for faculty and staff.

Program options include an in-person full-time BSW program with two locations, one on the Cedar Rapids campus and one on the Davenport campus.
