Social work is a profession concerned with promoting the well being of people. It includes assisting individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities to achieve life-enhancing goals as they learn to cope with or shape the social and environmental forces affecting daily life.

Carthage's professional social work curriculum equips students with knowledge, values and skills necessary for generalist practice. Through required field experiences, the program provides students with supervised opportunity to muster the requisite competencies in actual practice situations.

The Carthage Social Work program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, an international agency that assures a program meets the standards established for a bachelor's degree in social work.
