Social Work is offered in-person and online.
Have you always had a drive to help others? With an in-person or online degree in social work, you’ll be encouraged to lean into those natural giftings and transform lives. Blending a strong commitment to put your faith into action with a career that’s often dealing with a hurting and broken world, you can make a huge difference in people’s lives.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, social work jobs are expected to grow 16 percent by 2026 – a rate much faster than average. We offer a rigorous curriculum that gives you the training you need to pass the LSW exam and excel in your career.
In fact, our social work students collectively have one of the highest passing rates for the required LSW certification in the state of Ohio. Two-thirds of our students go on to graduate school. Because our program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), graduates are eligible for advanced standing in many postgraduate degree programs should they choose to continue their education.
At Malone, our commitment to Christian values underpins everything we do. Our social work degree isn’t just about education - it’s about helping you become a catalyst for positive change, guided by compassionate, Christ-like service.
You’ll be immersed in a nurturing environment that fosters growth in both your professional skills and your faith journey.
Unlike many other institutions, our social work faculty aren’t just adjunct educators; they’re licensed social workers devoted to guiding and shaping the next generation of change-makers.
Because of our faculty’s personal drive in the social work program, your education is intended to feel like a mentorship. You’ll be working closely with your professors who are dedicated to ensuring your education is meaningful, comprehensive, and deeply rooted in real-world expertise.
You’ve always wanted to make an impact. At Malone’s social work program, you’ll have opportunities to serve right from the start. Plus, you’ll have at least three immersive field experiences integrated into the curriculum. Essentially, you get to step beyond the classroom to put theory into practice.
These opportunities allow you to forge connections, build a professional network, and gain invaluable hands-on experience that puts you on a path toward professional success.
The online bachelor of social work is also offered in a fully digital format, providing you with ultimate flexibility while earning your degree. You’ll have the opportunity to attend class when and where it’s right for you, and can finish your degree in as little as two years.
Join our community of like-minded individuals driven by a higher purpose: to tackle social issues head-on, with a Christian perspective.
