Social Work Program Information
The Baccalaureate Social Work Program at Kentucky Christian University is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).
Kentucky Christian University's Social Work Program provides the knowledge, skills, and resources for social work practice and strengthens professional commitment to social justice by encouraging the student's spiritual growth.
Students have the opportunity to participate in experiences which will utilize their knowledge of both Bible and social work skills.
With a major in Social Work along with the Bible core, the social work values of addressing oppression, injustice, and poverty are strengthened by building upon a solid foundation in Biblical studies.
