Social Work and
Counseling
We are pleased to welcome you as a Social Work and Counseling major or minor at Franklin Pierce College. Our goal is to prepare undergraduate candidates for jobs and careers in social work, human services and criminal justice and to undertake further challenges in graduate and professional schools of higher education.
Social Work and Counseling is one of the five undergraduate majors offered through the Behavioral Science Division. The other majors include Psychology, Criminal Justice, Sociology and Anthropology. There are seven full time and four part time faculty members who teach in the social work and counseling program.
Our faculty have doctorial degrees and they represent a wide range of areas of expertise including social psychology, counseling, the family, criminology, social work and behavioral research methods.
While the main focus of our division is on excellence in teaching, our faculty are actively involved in research and state of the art developments in their areas of specialization.
The program offers students the opportunity for direct involvement with research, paraprofessional training and field internship experiences. The Social Work and Counseling program prepares students to work in any of the following areas: intake therapy, community social work, health and human services administration, community health centers, youth guidance clinics, crisis intervention programs, occupational therapy and rehabilitation centers, children’s homes, nursing homes, hospices, psychiatric hospitals and addiction treatment centers. Students are encouraged to become involved with extracurricular activities within the department such as student groups and
clubs. The offices and facilities of the Social Work and Counseling program are located in Crestview Hall. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the staff and faculty of the department. We are here for you to help make your academic and personal experience at Pierce an enjoyable and fulfilling one.
Sincerely,
