The Campbell Program
Accredited by the Council of Social Work Education, the Social Work
Department is a relatively new part of Campbell University’s widely
known School of Education. Our dynamic program is designed to
prepare you for entry-level generalist practice in which you might
work with individuals, families and groups, organizations or entire
communities. About one-third of our majors pursue postgraduate
studies and the vast majority of those are accepted by their firstchoice school. For students who enter the job market immediately,
our career placement record is especially strong: virtually all our
majors have positions in their field when they graduate.
The Campbell Approach
We rely heavily on an integrated, interactive approach that emphasizes
practical experience. For example, our Early Experience course gives
you an opportunity to spend 65 hours during a semester in a human
service agency. The setting will be chosen with your interest in mind:
social services, mental health, nursing home/hospice, corrections,
women’s center or another agency.
In addition, you’ll complete a field internship or practicum your
senior year in conjunction with a senior seminar. The practicum
involves 450 hours of experience in an approved social work agency
and features extensive field work . Once again, you’ll be matched
with your specific area of interest.
Students attracted to this major have a deep commitment to helping
people. They can assess a situation, provide a caring attitude and have
an openness to helping clients determine their personal options. This
tolerance and acceptance requires self-discipline, but these traits are
components of the ethics and values prescribed by our profession.
The Campbell Advantage
As a Campbell student preparing for a fulfilling career in Social
Work, you’ll find...
•
A respected, caring, friendly faculty determined to see that
you have the skills, confidence, and experience you need to
work in this highly satisfying career.
•
A program that gives students a head start by requiring realworld experience in various areas of the field.
•
A distinctive dedication to a quality liberal arts education,
free enterprise, and our Christian Mission.
We also arrange a variety of visits to agencies and invite community
leaders to bring their insight to you in the classroom. There’s also
an award-winning Social Work student organization that is actively
involved in community and campus service projects. In addition,
our program has a social work honor society Phi Alpha Eta Kappa
Chapter for students who excel in academics.
The Campbell faculty and students
Faculty in the Social Work Department take their teaching role
quite seriously and are also extremely active participants in the field
off-campus. For instance, Department Chairman Dr. C.G. Kledaras
holds leadership positions in the NC Society for Clinical Social Work,
NASW-NC Chapter along with other professional and community
organizations. Dr. Eugene Sumner is actively involved in handling the
practicum placements for the program and is also heavily involved in
community projects. Because of all the time spent inside and outside of
the classroom, our students feel very close to the faculty and their fellow
majors.
