What Alums of the BSW Program Say
|
The cohort model and the size of classes allowed me to grow with my classmates.
It was academically challenging, taught me to think, globally, critically, especially SWK 316, [SWK 401] and SWK 406. The curriculum laid a foundation for me for effective practice that I can now see and use in my job. BSW '07 |

It seems to me that there have been quite a few American Indian students in the social work program at Augsburg. I would like to encourage more Indian students and students of color to consider Augsburg.

I liked the BSW program because it stretched me. [SWK 100]: "Exploring Human Services", the entry-level social work course, exposed me to all different types of social work and real life experiences. BSW '02, MSW '05 |

Social work at Augsburg played a big role in my life. Growing up in poverty my family never had the opportunity to receive a formal education. The Social Work Department at Augsburg changed all that for me. When I entered the program and worked with the staff, they gave me outstanding support and encouragement. They taught me to believe that no matter how difficult life or environment you live in is, that's not an excuse to not reach for your goals and succeed. BSW '04

I just wanted to send you guys a note giving an update on where my wonderful social work education at Augsburg has gotten me. I passed the licensing exam shortly after graduation. I had two interviews that week, and got both jobs. I now am a contracted case manager in the DD unit - where my internship was! Case management is a lot to take in at once, but I really enjoy it. And then this fall I start my masters program... busy, busy. BSW '05 |
