C.W. Post Bachelor's Degree in Social Work
Receives Accreditation from CSWE
The Bachelor's Degree program in Social Work at the C.W. Post
Campus of Long Island University in Brookville has received special
accreditation by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).
Established in 1994, the B.S. in Social Work has quickly become
one of C.W. Post's most popular majors within the College of
Management's School of Health Care and Public Administration.
According to program director Ilene Nathanson, DSW, BCD, the
Social Work program attracts undergraduate students who are interested
in obtaining the knowledge, practice and research skills to be
competent professionals committed to enhancing the well being
of those they serve. In addition to providing the beginning student
with an orientation to the practice of social work with individuals,
groups, families, organizations and communities, the program
prepares students to work in a wide variety of client systems
and settings with diverse populations as they promote social
and economic justice.
"After successfully completing the program, our students
can qualify for advanced placement consideration at the graduate
level if they decide to continue in that direction," said
Dr. Nathanson, highlighting the unique aspects of the program.
"With a strong emphasis on teacher-student collaboration,
seminar-style classes and community service with local agencies,
the program transforms high caliber students into outstanding
practicing professionals."
The program offers students access to C.W. Post's Center on
Aging and Center on Management Analysis, both of which are affiliated
with the Department of Health Care and Public Administration
within C.W. Post's College of Management. They provide students
with opportunities for research and linkages with the professional
community.
