Strengthen Service Careers with a Social Work Minor
Service-minded professionals offer greater impact through understanding both people and the systems that influence them. The Social Work Minor at Cornerstone University offers practical knowledge of human behavior, social policy, and community contexts that support careers in human services, nonprofits, education, healthcare, and public service. While the minor does not itself lead to professional licensure, it provides a strong academic foundation for graduate study and advanced professional pathways in social work and related fields. Grounded in a Christian worldview, the minor views social services as a calling to promote lasting Christ-centered restoration and hope in individuals and communities.
