Social Work MiTransfer
You're interested in helping people cope with and solve problems in their daily lives. You’re looking for a career with meaning, action, diversity, and a variety of career options. A bachelor's or advanced degree is part of your future plans. As a social worker, you'll assist clients as they improve their well-being and help them meet basic and complex life needs, and you'll often work with those who are vulnerable or living in poverty.
The need for social workers is growing across the State and Nation. This Associate in Arts pathway prepares you to transfer and succeed in a four-year college or university program. This pathway introduces you to the social work profession and how to apply concepts like psychology, sociology, language, and public policy to social services.
Mid's Social Work Pathway allows you to gain a solid foundation of knowledge in sociology and psychology, alongside general education credits that transfer seamlessly to four-year colleges and universities. This transfer-focused pathway prepares you to transfer successfully into bachelor and master's degree programs, while saving thousands on your advanced degree.
