Social Welfare Minor
Undergraduate ProgramsWhy Minor in Social Welfare?
Learn how economic, historical, political, and cultural factors shape the course of social welfare in the U.S.
The Social Welfare minor is ideal for students who are interested in learning more about social welfare issues and policies but do not want to major in social work. Explore, in depth, some of the challenging issues confronting society in the alleviation of poverty and the delivery of health and welfare services to families and children, older people, and individuals with mental and physical challenges. This minor is particularly good for students planning careers in government, the private sector, law, and health.
