Social WorkWhat can I do with a social work degree from Mount Mercy College?
The BA in social work is considered the entry level of professional practice. You will be prepared to carry out professional roles in social service agencies working with individuals, couples, families, and small groups. You will also have some preparation to carry out broader organizational and community roles. Additionally, you are eligible to apply for social work licensure in states where it is either mandatory or voluntary at the bachelor level of practice. Students who graduate from Mount Mercy with an accredited baccalaureate social work major may be eligible for "advanced standing" in many master of social work programs. This usually allows a student to complete a MSW in a shorter amount of time than the regular program takes. First year graduates report salaries ranging from $15,000-30,000*.
