oh my gosh just found your blog and i’m so happy!! i’m a hs sophomore who has already begun to do social work research for school and for my own personal knowledge. my biggest struggle, especially w/jnr yr approaching, is the lack of guidance in finding good social work programs. any suggestions for high schoolers looking to study social work in terms of exploring colleges/universities/programs/etc???
hi, honey!! ahh this message is so sweet :’) i’m glad to hear you’re interested in social work! tbh when i first set my sights on social work, I struggled with the same conundrum. luckily, the closest university to me had a social work program so I just jumped on that opportunity. I didn’t even apply to any other schools, which in hindsight was kind of foolish lmao but I guess it worked out.
anyways, with that being said, I think finding a program will depend on your circumstances (i.e. living, expenses, etc). HERE is a link to the Council on Social Work Education’s Accreditation Directory! browse around and see if there are any colleges/universities that seem like a good fit; and maybe call the campus to learn more information! I hope this helped and I wish you the best of luck on your search!! let me know if you ever have any questions :D
