| The School of Social Work Social work has been a part of Texas State's curriculum since the Department of Sociology first offered a social work course in 1975. Initially, social work was a curriculum sequence in the sociology major, but it later became an academic minor, and finally an academic major. The Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) was first accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) in 1978, an accreditation that was reaffirmed in 1985, 1992, 2000, and 2004. The Department of Social Work was organized in 1995 and joined the College of Health Professions. It was designated a School in 2001. |  |
| The Purpose, Mission, and Vision of the School of Social Work Through an educational program which is consistent with the standards approved by the Council on Social Work Education, the Texas State University-San Marcos School of Social Work graduates 1) BSW students who are well prepared for professional entry-level generalist social work practice, and 2) MSW students who are equipped for advanced, specialized practice (in the generalist model) in either direct practice or administration. The School of Social Work at Texas State University-San Marcos aims to educate skilled, competent social workers prepared to practice in a dynamic, diverse social environment. The School prepares social workers who can effectively and ethically lead human service efforts to enhance human well-being and productivity, help alleviate poverty, and strengthen social justice. The School aims to create and refine useful intervention technologies while enhancing services, especially for people who are disadvanteged and often forgotten. The School of Social Work at Texas State is committed to empowering our students and faculty to be ethical leaders, skilled in both creative and critical thinking who will be at the forefront of creating positive change and improving the lives of the most vulnerable members of society. | |
