UCO’s Human Services program prepares students for careers in social work including specialization in child welfare, adult welfare, medical social work and educational social work. Many of our students continue their education seeking master’s degrees in social work (MSW) or pursue a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) license. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a nearly 10% growth in social work over the next 10 years.

At the UCO Department of Sociology, Gerontology and Substance Abuse Studies, we're more than just a program—we're a community of passionate individuals committed to making a positive impact on the world. Join us, and together, we’ll transform lives and build brighter futures for individuals and communities alike.
