SOWK 418 - Honors: Social Welfare Policy and Programs

3 Credit Hours
This honors course explores the policies that shape the welfare system and influence social work practice. The course will emphasize organizational and legislative systems at the federal, state, local levels and their impact on social services. The course links social welfare policy and social work practice by critically analyzing the historic and contemporary contexts of social welfare practice. The processes of analyzing, influencing, developing, implementing, and advocating for policies and programs through the lens of social work values and ethics are addressed. Students enrolled in this honors course engage in professional lobbying strategies within a simulated legislative environment.

Comment(s): Students enrolled in the Social Justice minor may register for course with departmental approval.
