Earn Your Social Work Degree at USF

Many colleges or universities offer a Psychology major. Fewer offer a bachelor’s degree in Social Work, so if you choose to earn your degree in Social Work you will already stand out. You can stand out even more with an accredited Social Work degree from a Christian, liberal arts university like the University of Sioux Falls (USF) in South Dakota.

Transform yourself. Don’t just earn a degree in Social Work, live fully engaged at the University of Sioux Falls. Through your degree program and on-campus ministries, you’ll learn to become a servant leader. Whether you want to go to work right after graduation or earn a master’s degree in Social Work next, USF offers a Social Work degree that prepares you for both. 

Careers in Social Work require spiritual strength, maturity and mental stamina. At USF, you’ll learn to provide service to others with God’s help and guidance. Colleges and universities without a faith base simply do not have the same focus and mission as USF, a Christian university.
