Message From Chair
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce the viewers of this website to the Department of Social Work, Criminal Justice and Gerontology. This department offers a Bachelor of Social Work Degree, and a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice. We also offer an interdisciplinary minor in Social Gerontology. These degree programs represent excellent opportunities for those who seek an honorable profession with a good salary; but who also want to help those in need of social and legal services.
Career opportunities for social work majors include fields such as child welfare, mental health, school social work and social work in medical settings. Criminal justice graduates can work in law enforcement, the court system, correctional administration, pretrial release and adult and juvenile corrections.

Viewers of this website, especially students and parents, should feel free to contact members of our faculty and staff for additional information. We in the Department of Social Work, Criminal justice and Gerontology are eager to serve you.

Steve Jones, Department Chair
