Pursue your passion for people

Do you have a heart to see all people in society—the young and the old, the rich and the poor, the healthy and the ill—flourish in their circumstances?

Calvin's accredited bachelor of social work (BSW) program will prepare you to help others discover their God-given strengths and resources to improve their life situations. You'll combine classroom learning in social work and other disciplines with hands-on learning in a community field education experience. And when you graduate, you'll be equipped with the skills and virtues necessary to bring healing to a broken world.
