Social Work
Are you an incredible listener who has great empathy and a willingness to help people improve their quality of life?
Do you want to help make a positive impact on the world? There will always be people in need, from young children to individuals struggling with addictions. Social workers help people cope and improve their quality of life, and as a result, they can affect the future of an entire community, and even social policy.
At Harford Community College, we offer a social work degree that can prepare you for transfer to a four-year institution to complete your bachelor's degree.
