SW399 Human Behavior

The mission of the social work program at Bennett College is to prepare competent, professional students for entry level generalist social work for the ethical reduction of oppression and social and economic injustice and the enhancement of the quality of life for diverse at-risk populations.

The online course, SW397- Human Behavior in the Social Environment, is a major course requirement for the Bachelor of Social Work degree program and is intended to complete the Human Behavior in the Social Environment (HBSE) sequence. It is the first of two three-hour semester courses. The course content integrates knowledge from biology and the behavioral sciences, to study bio-psych-social factors that influence individual and family maturation and functioning for subsequent use in practice skill development.
