The Arts and Sciences Social Work Concentration at Carroll Community College introduces students to generalist social work practice and how individuals, groups, and institutions behave, function, and influence one another. With an emphasis on human diversity and an examination of social issues from a social scientific perspective, we prepare students to enter helping professions and/or transfer into their chosen four-year institution.

Carroll students are expected to check with their chosen transfer institution and consult with a Carroll academic advisor along with ARTSYS in selecting General Education and elective courses.
