The purpose of the social work profession is to enhance the well-being of individuals, families, and communities. The Bachelor of Arts in Social Work (BASW) program prepares students for positions as generalist practice social workers and for graduate education in social work.  As generalist practitioners, students apply the knowledge, values, and skills of the social work profession to empower individuals and communities to overcome life challenges. Social work incorporates a holistic, strength-based approach to helping individuals, families, and communities. The BASW degree provides the foundation for entry-level social work careers in areas such as child welfare, community mental health, developmental disabilities, drug and alcohol, criminal justice, aging, community organizations, and other social service settings.

 The social work major is based in a liberal arts education that promotes scientific inquiry and critical thinking. The BASW program provides an evidence-based approach to social work education that identifies best practices in social work. Students are taught the purpose, history, values, and ethics of the social work profession. Subject matter also includes communication and assessment skills, problem-solving approaches, human diversity, research, social welfare and policy, and intervention skills with individuals, families, and communities.  As a professional program, the BASW program requires a supervised field placement experience in a social service agency, including 400 on-site hours.  Students completing an accredited undergraduate social work program are eligible for advanced standing in a graduate social work degree program (MSW). Students in the BASW program are encouraged to take either or both of PSYU 101 and SOCU 101 as general electives.

Program Mission Statement

The mission of the BASW degree program is to prepare students for generalist social work practice in the 21st century and for graduate education in social work. The program offers a dynamic, flexible, and technologically-based education designed to meet the needs of working adult students. The BASW curriculum is based in the values and ethics of the social work profession and provides students with the knowledge, values, and skills necessary to engage with clients and communities in collaborative and innovative problem solving.  Graduates are prepared to assist individuals, families, and communities in the California area and larger society in advancing quality of life, human rights, and social justice in a global community.

You have the experience, now you can earn the Doctorate degree! This fall, Brandman University’s Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership’s inaugural class commenced in Irvine, CA.

With cohorts meeting throughout the state of California, this groundbreaking program offers flexibility and local support systems, serving the needs of working professionals! The Ed.D. program’s hybrid format of online instruction and face-to-face support is created to support your pathway to success.

Advantages of this program include:

  • Dynamic faculty of experienced practitioners
  • Collaboration Balanced With Independent Learning
  • Diverse Instructional Strategies
  • Newest Technologies And Multimedia Tools
  • Practical application of best practices in the field
  • Completion of coursework in two years and completing the dissertation in the next year or so.
Cohorts

Individual online work and study will be augmented with extended activities in monthly half-day cohort meetings, in which students work together to develop their leadership competencies. Students will be assigned to a local cohort with others in their geographical area. A leading practitioner will serve as a cohort mentor, working with you continuously for the two years of coursework.

Immersions

Six times during two years of coursework all Ed.D. students will meet near the Irvine campus for extensive relationship-building with faculty and students program-wide, presentations by expert speakers, dissertation seminars, and in-depth engagement in learning.

Transformational Change Project

To integrate change theory into real world settings and provide an opportunity for clinical practice, each student will design, implement, and assess a Transformational Change Project (TCP), which will be operationalized in a real organization.

Dissertation: Two Approaches

Students have the option of working individually in the traditional dissertation approach or engaging in a a supportive collaboration of faculty and several other dissertation students in a thematic dissertation.. Each student in the thematic group develops a research plan around a current interest that they share. Each student researches the problem from a different perspective. All members of the group share literature sources, provide feedback on research design and drafts, and help each other remain focused and moving forward. One faculty member serves as the chair for all students working in the small collaborative group. Whether pursuing the traditional dissertation approach or the thematic dissertation, each student writes their own dissertation.
