In addition, the Department is committed to making ongoing contributions to the development of the greater community through practice, relevant research, scholarship and community service. The program provides the generalist foundation for social work practice, an advanced concentration in individual and community empowerment practice and field of practice tracks in social work practice with families and children, social work practice with older adults or social work practice in health/mental health. Individual and community empowerment practice is defined as follows: Practice with individuals and groups within a community context with the goal of enhancing their sense of coherence. This involves empowering clients to take control of their own lives and the environments (communities, organizations, social institutions) in which they live. This requires competence in casework, group work, community practice and policy practice. This also requires the social worker to trust in the ability of clients to manage their own lives in ways that are culturally consistent with their values and beliefs.     Accreditation Information: The Department of Social Work which has had a fully accredited undergraduate social work program sin  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 331  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 974  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $704  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $16864  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
