Minoring in Social Work
Enhance your current major with a greater understanding of at-risk individuals. The Social Work minor at Ashland University is perfect for you if you’re planning on working in healthcare, mental health service, education, or criminal justice. By minoring in social work, you will:
-
Become familiar with the social welfare structure in the United States
-
Learn about the historical and ethical frameworks of social work
-
Expand your knowledge of human behavior and the social environment, and how each interacts with one another
-
Learn about international issues related to social justice
-
Study a specific population group (i.e. family and children)
Unlike the Social Work program major, minoring in Social Work will not allow you to become a licensed social worker, but it will provide you with a more enriching experience to understand and work with individuals in their social environments.
