Mission Statement

Campbellsville University’s Carver School of Social Work BSW Program stresses academic excellence, Christian leadership, and personal growth within a nurturing, caring environment. The program is grounded in the liberal arts and the person-in-environment framework. To promote human and social well-being students are taught skills that will allow them to use a range of prevention and intervention methods in their practice with diverse individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities based on scientific inquiry and best practices. Students learn to identify with the social work profession and apply ethical principles and critical thinking in practice at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels. The program incorporates content that encourages students to engage diversity in their future practice and advocate for human rights and social and economic justice. The program emphasizes the importance of being able to recognize, support, and build on the strengths and resiliency of all human beings. Students practice engaging in research-informed practice and learn to be proactive in responding to the impact of context on professional practice.
