Social work careers

If you are considering a career in social work or have general questions about the profession, the Social Welfare Library has a number of books in its collection that might be useful. Additional material may be found in other campus libraries by searching Pathfinder using the subject terms "vocational guidance" combined with "social work," "social service," "social welfare," or "human services."

For academic curricula leading to a social work degree, see program information for the UC Berkeley School of Social Welfare or consult a directory for graduate schools of social work in the United States.
