Curriculum Description
Forsyth Tech’s AAS in Social and Human Services with a Pre-Social Work focus provides a seamless pathway to a BSW degree. Students benefit from small class sizes, personalized support, and cost-effective education while gaining practical skills and preparing for transfer to a university social work program.
Advancing Your Career
A BSW opens the door to roles in social services, community advocacy, and resource coordination. Many graduates continue their education to earn a Master of Social Work (MSW), which qualifies them for advanced positions, including becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). As an LCSW, professionals can provide therapy and other specialized services, making it one of the most popular pathways.
