Social Work
If you want to affect the world, study social work. If you want a great shot at passing your licensure exam and being hired right out of college, study social work at Concordia.
Your passion for helping others isn't going to stay in the classroom; Concordia social work majors are encouraged to get out into the community. We have partnerships with a variety of agencies in Fargo and Moorhead, so you can help low-income families make ends meet or New Americans find housing, among other opportunities. We’ll do our best to match your interests to areas of need.
Most career counselors will recommend you keep your résumé to one page, but that is impossible for Concordia social work grads. You’ll start engaging with your community as a sophomore, and all of your work and study will culminate with a full-time internship as a senior.
