Undergraduate ProgramsWhy Study Social Work?
The UMBC campus is ideal for undergraduate social work education. Students are able to draw on the strength of the campus’s core of liberal arts education, as well as a host of sophisticated information and technology resources such as the Albin O. Kuhn Library and Gallery and the campus computer laboratories.
The social work program has its own computer lab, which contains computers with internet access and printing capabilities and is available to all social work majors. Social work students also have available to them the complete resources of two other campuses located in close proximity to UMBC: the University of Maryland, Baltimore where the master’s and doctoral programs of the School of Social Work are located and the flagship campus of the University System, University of Maryland, College Park. Social work students also benefit from the numerous and varied social service programs and agencies located in the greater Baltimore-Washington region.
