Graduates with a degree in Social Work have the academic credentials necessary to fill jobs in traditional and newly emerging areas where a Bachelor's degree is considered the appropriate entry level, as well as in areas formerly reserved exclusively for Master of Social Work graduates. Some of the traditional areas are: child welfare agencies, court system, adolescent and child care in residential facilities for physically and mentally handicapped, work with elderly in nursing homes and in their own homes, multi-service community centers, and youth work. Among the newly emerging areas are residential and in-home services for the elderly, women's advocacy centers, shelters for battered women and children, day care facilities, crime victims' assistance centers, industrial social work, community mental health programs, chemical dependency facilities and treatment programs, neighborhood health centers, self-help groups, political activism, crisis centers, and managed care facilities. Employment needs in areas formerly reserved for MSWs are Social Work departments in schools, hospitals, and family service agencies.

Graduates of the Social Work Program have been consistently successful in finding employment. The majority of our job-seeking graduates tend to be employed in professional jobs within six months of graduation, and all job-seeking graduates attain professional employment within a year after graduation.

The Twardowski Career Development Center provides students services, programs, and resources that facilitate the lifelong career development process and assist students and alumni with implementing and securing satisfying careers.
