Social Work is a catch-all phrase that covers a wide variety of careers. In general, a career in social work is very rewarding. Many social workers are persons who care deeply about people's quality of life. Students desiring to be social workers can find employment in a multitude of arenas. Most students specialize; they want to work with children, or the elderly, or the physically challenged, or the mentally challenged. Students want to help those who often cannot help themselves. Social workers help people survive the best way they can in their environment, deal with their relationships, and solve personal and family problems. The Social Work program at Darton College is primarily a transfer program. The Associate degree in Social Work provides the general education background necessary for transfer to a baccalaureate program in Social Work. The DC program provides a strong background for those who are interested in working with/in large scale venues such as state or local government or who are interested in working with/in a much smaller scale, such as nursing homes, assisted living centers, centers for children, schools, and the like. Some conduct research or are involved in planning or policy development, but most social workers prefer an area of practice in which they interact with clients. View more details on Darton College .
