Social Welfare Minor

Do you have a passion for helping others? Are you driven to do your part to make the world a better place by assisting the underprivileged or working in a social services environment? George Fox’s social work program offers a social welfare minor that may be just right for you.

In this 18-credit-hour course of study, you’ll get introduced to what social welfare is, diversity issues in social work, social policy, and human behavior in the social environment. You will also have the opportunity to specialize in specific areas related to the field – specifically crime and deviance, race and ethnicity, juvenile delinquency, and social work with children.
