Social worker speaks with a group of students

With Focus on Rural Social Work, New Bachelor’s Program Aims to Meet Growing Need

More than 60%  of rural Americans live in areas the National Institute of Health deems to be and only about 20% of social workers nationwide are employed in rural areas, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These stats, coupled with the high demand for licensed social workers — especially in areas like those surrounding Â鶹ӰԺ’s Regional Campuses — produce significant disparities and gaps in care for people needing social services.

Filling in those gaps is the primary aim of program director Matt Butler and the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program through Âé¶¹Ó°Ôº State’s College of Applied and Technical Studies (CATS), which will have an emphasis on rural social work.
