Social workers are among the most passionate professionals one can find in the working world. Whether they work as generalists or clinical practitioners, work in community centers or in law firms, social workers are first and foremost students of the human condition and how society changes peoples' behavior.
That's why a degree in social work is an interesting and incredible career. For most students, the first step they take to becoming social worker lies at the undergraduate level. This has led to the creation of the Best Bachelor's in Social Work ranking.
Christian Amondson, Managing Editor of College Choice, remarked that a bachelor's degree in social work could be challenging. He also said that: "While becoming a social worker isn't easy, it can be an incredibly rewarding job. Social workers often feel a sense of professional satisfaction while they help people manage extenuating life circumstances."
The 2016 ranking for the Best Bachelor's in Social Work from College Choice was created by using a number of factors, including program specifics and a school's academic reputation, in order to order the schools.
