What is an In-Person Plus program?

Program-required courses are taught through a combination of in-person and remote delivery. Remote learning may require meeting at a specific time or may not have a specific class time; all weekly interactions and assignments for remote courses are completed through a learning site.

Vermont State University’s Education Settings Concentration within the Bachelor of Social Work (B.S.W.) program prepares you to address the emotional, academic, social, and physical needs of students in primary and secondary education.

In the core courses of the Social Work program, you’ll build a strong foundation in psychology, sociology, and social work. Within this concentration, you’ll study the learning process along with the laws and principles that relate to addressing the needs of diverse student populations. As a graduate, you can pursue entry-level support positions or earn your master’s to gain licensure as a school social worker.
