SWK 360 - Social Work Profession and Policy(3 credits)
Building on practice theories and skills in work with individuals and families, this course introduces students to the procedures and process of social work policy development and analysis.

This course will give students a solid foundation of the political process, the identification of social problems, the development and the implications of social policies to help members of our society. Economic and religious trends will also be examined. This course will assist students in acquiring skills to see the inadequacies, gaps and inequities in social policies in the past and present and help them develop critical thinking skills and a commitment to change.
