The School of Human Services at UNT Dallas offers a fully online Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program that prepares students for generalist social work practice, aligned with the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS).

UNT Dallas is bridging the gap between education and workforce readiness through our innovative Classroom to Career initiative. This initiative integrates experiential learning—such as internships, service learning, and project-based collaborations with industry partners—into every student’s academic journey. By emphasizing high-impact practices, we prepare students with both disciplinary expertise and the essential skills employers value most: communication, adaptability, teamwork, and leadership. Our graduates don’t just earn degrees;

they launch purposeful, career-ready futures. We seek faculty across all disciplines who are eager to contribute to this transformative, campus-wide initiative actively.
