The social work program is designed to prepare students for community-minded careers where they can make a difference in health programs, schools, shelters, service agencies and a variety of other settings. CSS students will benefit from small class sizes, personalized learning plans and 570 hours of field experience throughout the Phoenix area.
The B.A. in Social Work program is designed to meet the needs of working adults. With a hybrid format that combines online classes with occasional in-person meetings and a seamless transfer program, CSS students can complete their degrees in two years.
“We’re thrilled to give prospective students a more accessible education in what we believe is an incredibly important and valuable career,” said Maria Laughner, regional director for St. Scholastica in Arizona. “With this scholarship, we hope to reach more students who are looking to help improve Arizona through social work and a values-driven career path.”
The first Phoenix cohort will begin this fall on Sept. 8. Priority application deadline is April 15 and the final application deadline is Aug. 1.
