Rooted in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialworkers.org\/About\/Ethics\/Code-of-Ethics\">social work values and ethics<\/a>, our curriculum equips students with skills to engage, assess, and intervene with individuals, families, group, communities, organizations, and institutions; frameworks for understanding the complex interplay of human behavior and the social environment; analytical capacities for crafting research and policy; and a commitment to improving the quality of life for people in Maine and globally. Our undergraduate and graduate programs feature a cohort-based learning model, a high degree of student-faculty interaction, individualized internships, and small class sizes, which maximize personal growth and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading23_b3771d-84, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading23_b3771d-84[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading23_b3771d-84\"]{margin-top:0px;text-align:left;font-size:18px;line-height:32px;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:forma-djr-micro;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading23_b3771d-84 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading23_b3771d-84[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading23_b3771d-84\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading23_b3771d-84 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading23_b3771d-84[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading23_b3771d-84\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading23_b3771d-84, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading23_b3771d-84[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading23_b3771d-84\"]{padding-right:50px;padding-left:50px;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading23_b3771d-84, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading23_b3771d-84[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading23_b3771d-84\"]{padding-right:25px;padding-left:25px;text-align:center!important;}}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading23_b3771d-84 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading23_b3771d-84\">In the bachelor\u2019s program (BSW), students prepare to be generalist practitioners by applying multi-level, multi-method approaches to the resolution of challenges people face in their environments.
