I am an undergraduate social work student and this program is not all that compared to other schools I have taken classes at. The biggest problem with this program are the instructors they have their favorite students and they let you know if you are not one of them. Most of them give you grades with no explanations. Some of the classes the professors do more talking about themselves than actually giving you something to learn. I've taken sociology classes here and the professors in those classes actually stick to the lesson plan. The program here just wants to see if you can give presentations, majority of the work is project and presentation format if you can't do that then the instructors consider you incompetent to work in the field which is sad & in my opinion they don't focus about the options you have like grant writing. Social Work classes are not interesting here at all and they have no concentrations so it's just a BSW degree and the same with their masters program no concentrations. Also, some of the advisors are terrible! There are people in my classes that weren't supposed to be in there because they did not follow the plan of study. Students matriculated when they should not have so graduating early for many has nothing to do with how smart you are but how screwed up the advisor was! Go elsewhere, please or change your major.
