American Studies students acquire knowledge of American institutional structures, collective and group behavior, creative expression, demographic composition, regional identity, and characteristic attitudes and values.
Recent graduates have accepted jobs in libraries, museums, student services, tourism, secondary education, junior college teaching, advertising, public relations, journalism, and labor relations.

A desire to communicate ideas in writing is important. This major helps develop skills in connecting information, writing strong arguments, and reading for both fine detail and the big picture.

Apparel and Textiles: Apparel Design DESCRIPTION
TYPES OF JOBS ACCEPTED
The primary educational goal established by the Apparel Design major at UA is to prepare students for entry level positions in the fashion and textile industries. Sequential course offerings provide basic and upper level skill development and knowledge of the design field. The experience that students gain during their tenure provides an excellent foundation for professional and educational development. The common body of knowledge is taught not only through studio classes but also in hands on runway shows which feature student designed and constructed garments.
Graduates of the Apparel Design program find jobs in every sector of the fashion industry. Many develop clothing lines and pursue businesses of their own, while others find positions assisting established designers and working in the corporate end of fashion.
INTERESTS & SKILLS Basic principles and elements of design, including color theory, are introduced, reviewed, and applied throughout the four year program. Two and three dimensional work as well as color principles and their application are studied and utilized in freshman studio projects. By the completion of the sophomore year, students have developed the ability to render garments and fabrics on croquis. Students refine and individualize their abilities for visual organization, color utilization, sketching/drawing and design process in the upper level design studio courses.

Economics DESCRIPTION
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
The study of economics provides insight into the way a market economy works. This is done by studying how human beings, both individually and collectively, respond to market signals and incentives. A necessary corollary to this is that the study of economics provides insight into how government policy—through monetary and fiscal policy as well as regulatory policy, including both price and environmental regulation— aects market economies function and therefore the overall welfare of society. The entrepreneur, policy maker, or market analyst who understands these various facets of modern economies is often able to make better and/or more informed decisions. The study of economics also provides the student with important analytical skills that can be applied in real-world, business decision making. These skills are important in other business disciplines such as accounting, marketing, management and finance.
The opportunities for students who complete a bachelor's degree in economics range from positions in banking and financial services to real estate, insurance, enterprise risk management, consulting, and the public sector. The economics major also provides excellent preparation for admission to law school, MBA programs, schools of public policy, doctoral programs in economics, finance and other areas of business.
INTERESTS & SKILLS Students interested in studying economics should be able to think analytically, be creative in solving problems and have a strong interest in overall business strategy and/or public policy. Economics is also a good major for pre-law students as well as students desiring to pursue a Master of Business Administration, a Master of Public Administration or an advanced degree in economics, public policy, finance and other areas of business.
TYPES OF JOBS ACCEPTED Consulting firms, litigation consultant, stock broker, financial advisor, data miner, Teach for America, economist for public utilities commission
JOBS OF EXPERIENCED ALUMNI Attorney, Professor of Economics, Credit Risk Manager, data miner, various management positions, public policy analyst
ACCREDITATION All programs in the Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration are accredited by the The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
DEGREE OPTIONS Students working toward an undergraduate degree in economics must select either a specialization in economics or a second major. Popular additional majors are mathematics, foreign languages, political science, finance, and marketing. Some students may qualify for accelerated programs available to outstanding students which are described on the Economics, Finance and Legal Studies website. Specializations available in economics are Economics (for non-business majors), International Economics (economics majors only), acroeconomics and Monetary Policy (economics majors only), Public Policy and Law (economics majors only), Quantitative Economics (economics majors only), Econometrics and Forecasting. 62

Foreign Languages & Literature Classical Civilization DESCRIPTION For centuries the study of the ancient world classics has been central to any well-rounded humanistic education. The Greeks and Romans provided the foundation for many of the values and intellectual ideas that we take for granted in Western civilization. Incredibly sophisticated notions of justice, equality, mutual respect and freedom were hammered out amid the stone and struggle for survival and have become part of our inheritance. In Classics, we study that inheritance through the literary and material remains. The concentration in Classical Civilization focuses mainly on the Greco-Roman cultural contributions, with an emphasis on history (including Egyptian and early Christianity), ancient religion and social issues.
INTERESTS & SKILLS Students who choose the Classical Civilization track of the Foreign Language major will have an interest in the fundamental ideas and structures of Western Civilization. Students are expected to gain a rudimentary knowledge of Greek or Latin, if not both. Students who pursue this track should not expect to continue on in Classics on the graduate level (though Ancient History is an option), but are preparing themselves for various professional degrees by acquiring a broad understanding of the humanistic issues we have faced and addressed throughout history.
DEGREE OPTIONS The study of Classical Civilization requires that the student take a minimum of 33 hours in Classics with a heavy emphasis on culture courses. Students will take courses such as Roman Religion, Greek and Roman Mythology, Women's Lives in Antiquity and Greek History. Students also have the opportunity to earn six hours toward their major through an intensive 3-week program in Greece.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES The interesting thing about the study of any field of Classics is that, far from limiting a student's career choices, it actually expands them. Instead of being tied to one particular technical skill, Classicists have a broad and unique understanding of the human condition and have developed an appreciation for the precision and power of language. Most careers are open to Classicists 81
because employers and recruiters realize and appreciate the rigor and diďŹƒculty of the degree itself.
TYPES OF JOBS ACCEPTED Many of our graduates in Classics go on to professional schools. Since 1995, we have had a 100% acceptance rate for those who have applied for medical school. We have sent students to prestigious law schools, including Georgetown, Columbia, The University of Texas and Alabama's own. Some students have received an MLS degree and become professional librarians.
JOBS OF EXPERIENCED ALUMNI Our graduates have gone to seminary and then on into the ministry. Several have gone on to MBA programs and graduated at the top of their class and now work in major businesses. Others have continued in Classics and received a PhD and who now teach in colleges here and in England. One student works for the Navy in Chicago, following a passion of hers, mapping and geography. The possibilities are endless!

Foreign Languages and Literature: Greek DESCRIPTION
TYPES OF JOBS ACCEPTED
For centuries the study of Ancient Greek (an aspect of the Classics along with Latin and Ancient Civilization) has been central to any well-rounded humanistic education. In Classics, we study that inheritance through the literary materials remain. The concentration in Greek focuses mainly on the Greek contributions with an emphasis on the advanced reading of Greek literature and the New Testament from 800 BC through Early Christianity.
We have sent students to prestigious law schools, including recent ones to Georgetown, Columbia, The University of Texas and Alabama's own. Some students have gone on to seminaries (including Harvard), while others have received an MLS degree and become professional librarians. Several have gone on to MBA programs and graduated at the top of their class, now working in major businesses. We can also boast several students who have continued in Classics and received a PhD from prestigious schools both in the US and England, now teaching in colleges here and in the UK. One student works for the Navy in Chicago, in the mapping department. Others have gone on to editing and work for various publishing houses, or to teaching Greek in private schools, while others are running their own businesses.
INTERESTS & SKILLS Students learn the language at a very advanced level by the time they complete the requirements. Students should have a propensity for language study and an interest in humanities in general. Not only does the study of Greek increase the sophistication of one's thinking and provide a clearer scope of the sweep of intellectual history, it also improves one's understanding of language in general and English in particular. Greek is a precise language that demands a thorough comprehension of how language is structured, while its vocabulary constitutes the basis of a considerable number of English words, especially the terminology used in most disciplines. Most Greek majors take advantage of the Alabama in Greece Summer Study Abroad Program and spend three weeks in Greece studying ancient Greek history, culture and civilization at the most significant archeological sites of the country, including Athens, Santorini, Mycenae, Epidaurus, Olympia, Delphi, Mt. Olympus, Vergina and Dion, which offer a hands-on experience of ancient culture from prehistory (18th century B.C.) through the Roman conquest of Greece (2nd century A.D.).
DEGREE OPTIONS The study of Greek requires a minimum of 33 hours in Classics with an emphasis on Greek for a Bachelor of Arts.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Hellenists have a rounded understanding of the human condition and an appreciation for the precision and power of language. Most careers are open to Hellenists because employers and recruiters realize and appreciate the rigor and difficulty of the degree itself. 87
ACCREDITATION The University of Alabama is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award bachelor's, master's, educational specialist, and doctoral degrees. Greek is offered only on the BA level.

Foreign Languages and Literature: Latin DESCRIPTION
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
For centuries the study of Latin (Classics) has been central to any well-rounded humanistic education. The Romans, along with the Greeks, provide the foundation for many of the values and intellectual ideas that we take for granted in Western civilization. Incredibly sophisticated notions of justice, equality, mutual respect and freedom were hammered out amid the stone and struggle for survival and have become our inheritance. In the Classics we study that inheritance through literary and material remains. The concentration in Latin focuses mainly on the Roman contributions, with an emphasis on the advanced reading of Latin literature from 200 BC through the Medieval period.
The interesting thing about the study of Latin is that, far from limiting a student's career choices, it actually expands them. Instead of being tied to one particular technical skill, Latinists have a broad and unique understanding of the human condition and have developed an appreciation for the precision and power of language. In other words, most careers are open to Latinists because employers and recruiters realize and appreciate the rigor and diďŹƒculty of the degree itself.
INTERESTS & SKILLS Students who choose the Latin major should expect to learn to read the language at a very advanced level by the time they complete the requirements. We are not learning the language for its own sake but in order to learn what makes us human beings. Students should have a love for language studies and an interest in humanities in general. Not only does the study of Latin increase the sophistication of one's thinking and provide a clearer scope of the sweep of intellectual history, it improves one's understanding of language in general. Latin is a precise language that demands a thorough comprehension of how sentences are built and structured while its vocabulary constitutes the basis of a considerable number of English words. Thus the knowledge of Latin sharpens one's understanding of English.
DEGREE OPTIONS The study of Latin requires that the student take a minimum of 33 hours in Classics with a heavy emphasis on Latin. Students will reach the highest level of Latin and even repeat that course with a dierent reading selection or author. Typically, students who major in Latin learn a modern language as well, whether Italian, French or German, and often students choose a second major that relates directly to their future career choice.
89
TYPES OF JOBS ACCEPTED Many of our graduates in Latin go on to professional schools. Since 1995, we have had a 100% acceptance rate for those who have applied for medical school. We have sent students to prestigious law schools, including Georgetown, Columbia, The University of Texas, and Alabama's own.

Geology DESCRIPTION The Department of Geological Sciences provides its majors with a strong foundation in traditional geology as well as broad instruction in multi-disciplinary geosciences. This includes the study of earth processes and materials, environmental science, energy, water resources, marine science, paleontology, and all other major sub-disciplines of geology. The department strongly encourages student participation in research and internship experiences. Majors gain extensive hands-on field and laboratory experience unified around a goal to produce both a practical and theoretical understanding of geosciences.
INTERESTS & SKILLS Geology often draws students with interests in the outdoors, travel, concern for environmental and energy issues, and those pursuing careers in geosciencesrelated industries. Geology applies chemistry, physics, mathematics, and sometimes biology to understanding earth processes, so students take a broad array of ancillary science classes. Additionally, majors train in the specialized laboratory and field skills required by professional geologists.
DEGREE OPTIONS The department oers four degrees. The Bachelor of Science in Geology (BSG) is the degree most students pursue. It can lead to a career as a professional geologist and/or graduate school. The Bachelor of Science (BS) degree includes more general science than the BSG (additional math, physics and chemistry, plus a required minor). It is a good choice for those seeking careers as geologists and/or graduate school, especially for those interested in fields where these broader skills are useful. The Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree does not generally lead to a career as a professional geologist or graduate school in geology, but is more often coupled with a complimentary minor or second major where a geosciences background is useful, such as teaching science or with geology-related business degrees. Finally, Marine Science majors can focus in geology to pursue a BSG degree as part of their overall curriculum.
remediation, water resources, geotechnical consulting, energy, earth materials, hazard assessments, academic research, and education. Some examples of employers would be environmental and geotechnical firms, energy and mining companies, public utilities, building material suppliers, and state and federal government.
TYPES OF JOBS ACCEPTED Majors graduate to become geochemists, hydrogeologists, geophysicists, petroleum geologists, resource exploration geologists, hazard assessors, environmental regulators, geotechnical engineers, environmental lawyers, and consultants. Some graduates become licensed Public Geologists.
JOBS OF EXPERIENCED ALUMNI Alumni hold an impressive array of jobs as leaders of national and international energy corporations, environmental and geotechnical firms, and mining and materials production companies. Several majors became entrepreneurs and founded companies focused on geotechnical consulting, energy exploration, environmental remediation, and other key industries. Others conduct research at universities, national laboratories, museums, state and U.S. Geological Survey oďŹƒces, and other government agencies including NASA, the DOE, the Interior Department, and the EPA to name a few.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Geologists have broad career options. Common fields of employment include environmental assessment and 96

History DESCRIPTION History is one of the most important of the liberal arts, studies that lie at the core of a university education. The liberal arts help prepare students not merely to make a living, but also to fashion a meaningful life. The study of humanity’s past, in particular, provides a foundation for understanding the world and the necessary knowledge and wisdom to responsibly shape the future. The history major at Alabama requires students to take 36 hours of courses, ranging from broad surveys treating the entire history of important civilizations to sharply focused courses that allow the student to penetrate deeply into a particular time and place.
INTERESTS & SKILLS Students who do best in history are those who are interested in people of different times and places and who have a curiosity about how human institutions and societies work. They are people who do not see the past as obsolete, but as deeply meaningful and instructive for those who take the time to penetrate its mysteries. Students who flourish in history are usually people who love to read and to express themselves in writing.
JOBS OF EXPERIENCED ALUMNI Former UA history majors teach in many schools and colleges, are museum curators and directors, and serve on the Alabama Historical Commission. They sit in the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, and on the Alabama Supreme Court. Some are vice-presidents of major corporations, newspaper and television journalists, fighter pilots, and even professional football coaches.
ACCREDITATION The Department of History resides in UA’s College of Arts and Sciences, which is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
DEGREE OPTIONS UA students who major in history receive a Bachelor of Arts degree.
TYPES OF JOBS ACCEPTED The history major can lead students into careers in teaching, archives, libraries, museums, publishing, historic preservation, and non-profit institutions. It also provides a solid foundation for careers in business, government, law, and many other fields.

Philosophy DESCRIPTION The Department of Philosophy offers undergraduates rigorous training in philosophical methods, using both classic and contemporary issues and texts. This training includes instruction in writing clearly and effectively. It also includes instruction in critical thinking in evaluating and constructing arguments. The Department offers specialized courses in aesthetics, epistemology, ethics, metaphysics, philosophy of biology, philosophy of law, philosophy of mind, philosophy of religion, and political philosophy.
INTERESTS & SKILLS Philosophy majors should enjoy thinking abstractly and deeply about those questions that Bertrand Russell called “ultimate questions” — questions about the coherence or reasonableness of concepts and presuppositions that most take for granted. The ultimate questions addressed in philosophy classes include the following questions: Are humans purely physical beings, or does consciousness involve nonphysical phenomena? Do humans have free will? Does God exist? Are there objective moral facts, or is morality relative to one’s culture? What moral obligations, if any, does one have to oneself and to others? Is there any justification for government? If so, to what extent is governmental power justified?
DEGREE OPTIONS For the BA in Philosophy, students must complete thirty hours in philosophy, including at least twelve hours at or above the 300 level. Those select students who pursue Honors in Philosophy must complete an additional six hours of advanced courses and must write and defend successfully an Honors thesis. Philosophy minors must complete at least eighteen hours in philosophy, including at least six hours at or above the 300 level.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES A few graduates are now themselves professors of philosophy; but most years, no major pursues graduate work in philosophy. Those who seek advanced degrees pursue degrees in fields related to their second majors or in law, medicine, divinity, or business. Other majors
175
use their analytic skills to forge careers in education, information technology, finance, management, and writing.
TYPES OF JOBS ACCEPTED Recent graduates include a number of law students, several medical students and seminary students, and also graduate students in American Studies, German, Public Administration, Public Health, and Business. In addition to several in business and in the military, others are employed as teachers, computer consultants, and Web designers.
JOBS OF EXPERIENCED ALUMNI Philosophy alumni include many attorneys, a banker, a chef, a chemical engineer, a CIA employee, information technology specialists, a graphics designer, ministers, musicians, physicians, professors (of philosophy, mathematics, English, and theology), a State Department employee, Web designers, and writers.

Physical Education DESCRIPTION
TYPES OF JOBS ACCEPTED
Physical Education majors study as a cohort. The core classes taken are elementary, secondary, and advanced methods which teach students effective teaching styles and how to deliver different curriculum models appropriate for elementary and secondary students. Early field experiences are embedded within these methods and content courses and serve as excellent preparation for the culminating student teaching internship. Students also take courses in the exercise sciences, which are foundational to teaching physical education, as well as general education classes.
Our recent graduates initially accept elementary, middle school, and high school physical education teaching/coaching positions.
INTERESTS & SKILLS Physical Education majors are typically interested in teaching as their main focus and will graduate as highly qualified to teach K-12. Many of our majors are also interested in coaching as well as strength and conditioning and often have the opportunity for volunteer opportunities to gain experience while undergraduates.
DEGREE OPTIONS The B.S.E. in Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) is aimed at preparing highly skilled and professional physical education teachers and leads to an Alabama Class B teaching certificate. Students may then choose to continue their education and pursue a Master of Arts in Sport Pedagogy which leads to an Alabama Class A teaching certificate. Students who already have an undergraduate degree and wish to become certified may pursue a Master of Arts in Sport Pedagogy through the Alternative Master’s Degree Program.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Our PETE graduates have been very competitive in the job market. Many of them choose to teach in the southeast, while some venture further afield. A fairly high percentage of our students go on to graduate school and study for advanced practitioner degrees or degrees which enable them to study and teach sport instruction in university settings.

Physics DESCRIPTION The Department of Physics and Astronomy oers major and minor programs in physics, a minor in astronomy, and a second-major curriculum for engineering majors. Physics is considered to be a foundation science for other sciences such as Chemistry, Astrophysics, and Geophysics, and for applied fields such as Engineering. Physics encompasses the study of the physical nature of the universe, on all scales ranging from those of subatomic elementary particles to the observable universe as a whole. There are many opportunities for Physics majors to participate in research projects with physics and astronomy faculty.
INTERESTS & SKILLS Physics majors are interested in understanding the nature of the physical universe. This interest may focus on more specific sub-areas, such as the physics of elementary particles, the properties of solid matter, or the evolution of stars, galaxies, and/or black holes. A successful physics major will develop analytical and problem-solving skills which will be useful in a wide range of possible applications and careers.
DEGREE OPTIONS There are four tracks leading to the B.S. degree in physics: the graduate school track, for students considering graduate work in physics; the astrophysics track, for students interested in astronomy or space science; the biophysics track, for students planning a career in a health profession; the physics education track, for students who want to teach in grades K–12. The Department of Physics and Astronomy also has a second-major curriculum for engineering majors. For example, Electrical and Computer Engineering majors need only four additional hours beyond their normal program to complete a second major in Physics.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES A very wide range of careers are available for people with physics degrees: academic careers in physics, astronomy, and engineering; research science in government laboratories; research and development in private industry; engineering; K-12 teaching; quantitative financial analysis for investment firms; medical research or practice; science journalism. The analytical skills developed in the course of taking a 179
physics curriculum allow physics majors (on average) to have relatively high scores on the LSAT and MCAT admissions tests for law school and medical school. For more information, see http://www.aps.org/careers/physicists/.
TYPES OF JOBS ACCEPTED Most of our recent graduates go on to graduate school in Physics, Engineering, Astronomy, Mathematics, or Education. Other recent graduates have gone to Medical School, attended Law School, joined research laboratories, or become high school teachers.

Psychology DESCRIPTION
DEGREE OPTIONS
Psychology is the scientific study of animal and human behavior. It includes the study of human development, thinking and reasoning, memory, social relations, brain and neural mechanisms, abnormal behavior, and much more. The undergraduate psychology major at The University of Alabama is designed to provide you a broad background in psychology that will prepare you for the opportunity to specialize in an area of particular interest to you in Graduate School (if that is your plan). In addition to obtaining your general liberal arts degree, learning about the content and methods of psychology (e.g., research methods, statistics) can help prepare an undergraduate for careers in disciplines other than psychology. Therefore, it is important for you to focus on learning skills at least as much as learning content. Some practical skills available for you to learn as a psychology major include critical thinking, writing reports, conducting and evaluating research projects, interpreting data analysis, and applying psychological principles to everyday life.
Students have the option of earning a BA or a BS in Psychology. The BS is preferred if you plan a specialty that will focus on computational skills (e.g., Cognitive Science). For most, a BA is suďŹƒcient. Consult your advisor for what would be best for you.
INTERESTS & SKILLS Psychology majors have a wide range of interests. Anyone preparing for a career that involves contact with other people can benefit from taking classes in Psychology. Among the common pre-professional concentrations for psychology majors are pre-medical, pre-physical therapy, pre-law, pre-occupational therapy, and pre-physical therapy. Many psychology majors have interests in communication studies such as advertising and public relations. Others have interests in business and can apply their knowledge of psychology to marketing, management or organizational behavior. Psychology majors can approach the study of behavior from a variety of perspectives ranging from humanistic psychology, which focuses on human growth and potential, to biological bases of behavior, which focuses on relations among body, brain, and behavior. Written and oral communications skills are essential to success in psychology and related fields.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Psychology majors choose from a wide range of occupations in business, academics, mental health/ social services, human resources, human relations, and behavioral/medical research. A good resource for evaluating possible job opportunities for persons with a Bachelors, Masters or Doctorate degree can be found at: http://www.psychwww.com/careers/index.htm
TYPES OF JOBS ACCEPTED Many psychology majors apply to a variety of graduate programs. There are Ph.D. and masters programs in both clinical and non-clinical aspects of psychology in graduate psychology departments. Doctorates and masters degrees may also be earned in school psychology and counseling in many colleges of education, human development and social work.

Religious Studies DESCRIPTION Although many students at the University of Alabama enroll in Religious Studies courses to fulfill the University's Core Curriculum "Humanities" requirements, some choose to major, double major, or minor in the study of religion. Doing so allows them to examine in greater detail the histories and functions of a wide variety of texts, myths, rituals, symbols, and institutions. In the process, they take small upper-level classes, get to know professors with national and international scholarly reputations, and acquire skills that enable them to describe, compare, interpret, and explain skills that they will use long after leaving the Religious Studies classroom. As home of the Aronov Endowment for Judaic Studies, students interested in religious studies can also pursue a minor in Jewish Studies.
INTERESTS & SKILLS Apart from requirements that apply to all students in the College of Arts & Sciences, the only prerequisites for Religious Studies students are an interest in crosscultural work in dierent historical periods and a curiosity about the many ways that human communities, past and present, have devised for creating worlds in which to live and act.
DEGREE OPTIONS Undergraduates who major in Religious Studies graduate with the Bachelor of Arts Degree.

Social Work DESCRIPTION
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
The UA School of Social Work is currently the only social work program in the state of Alabama that offers social work bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees. The primary goal of the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree program is to prepare students for generalist social work practice. Graduates are prepared to assist people of all ages, from all walks of life, with all kinds of problems, in a variety of settings. As generalist practitioners, graduates are prepared with skills to assist individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities in achieving goals and solving problems. The program also prepares students to be ready for graduate study.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, social work is one of the fastest growing careers in the United States. Social workers are employed in a variety of career settings, including schools, hospitals, colleges and universities, mental health clinics, senior centers, nursing homes, elected offices, private practices, prisons, military systems, public defender and criminal court systems, corporations, and numerous public and private agencies that serve individuals and families in need.
INTERESTS & SKILLS Social work students are usually interested in a wide variety of topics related to social justice, human rights, social policy, mental health, and community organizing. Often, underlying those interests is a concern for persons who are vulnerable, oppressed, underserved, and living in poverty. Students interested in social work typically have strong oral and written communication skills, an interest in solving social problems, and an enjoyment of working with people from diverse backgrounds.
DEGREE OPTIONS A social work student graduates with a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree. The BSW is considered the entry-level professional social work degree. Many graduates of the BSW program continue their education and purse a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree. Students who earn an undergraduate Social Work degree from the UA School of Social Work may be admitted into an MSW program with advancedstanding status, which allows a student to complete the MSW degree in three semesters.
215
ACCREDITATION The BSW Program has been accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) since 1974. Accreditation recognizes the program’s adherence to CSWE’s educational policy and standards and it allows graduates to sit for a licensure exam. In Alabama, only those who pass the licensure exam can be called social workers and be hired for social work jobs. Social work students complete a rigorous academic program, grounded in the liberal arts, and also provide many hours of supervised service to state and local agencies. Students complete service projects in many of their classes, in their student organizations, and as part of their 9-credit hour field education experience. During the past academic year, BSW students provided over 24,000 hours of service in local communities.
