The Bachelor of Arts in Social Work (BASW) uses a generalist model to prepare entry-level social work professionals for work in a wide variety of field settings and with diverse populations. The degree is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, and graduates are eligible to sit for a national exam with the Association of Social Work Boards, one requirement for licensing in Texas and most other states. In addition, graduates are often eligible for advanced standing admission in a Master’s of Social Work degree program.
