About

Liberty University’s Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Social Work is a fully online degree program designed to help students gain the knowledge and skills needed to serve individuals, families, and communities through compassionate, ethical practice. This program emphasizes a strong foundation in human behavior, social policy, and culturally responsive care, while also integrating Liberty’s Christian worldview into the study of social work. Students may explore topics such as case management, social welfare, research methods, and advocacy—preparing them to engage with diverse populations and address real-world challenges. The curriculum includes a field practicum that allows students to apply classroom learning in a supervised social work setting. Depending on state requirements and prior experience, graduates may be considered for entry-level positions in child welfare, mental health, healthcare, community outreach, or nonprofit organizations, and may also pursue advanced standing in a Master of Social Work (MSW) program. With flexible online courses and a mission to develop service-minded professionals, Liberty’s B.S. in Social Work offers a convenient pathway to a meaningful career grounded in service and integrity.
