Weber State College has joined with more than 150 other undergraduate programs and the Council on Social Work Education to help meet this critical need of society. The Social Service Sequence offered at Weber State College is designed to: (1) prepare students for graduate Social Work education; (2) provide a liberal, interdisciplinary education for students who plan to secure employment in the social services; and, (3) provide a liberal educational experience to help the student in his understanding of and adjustment to living in a democratic society with all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. The optimum preparation for students who are planning graduate social work education or securing employment in the social services is a broad liberal arts education. Because of the nature of the content of the Social Service Sequence, responsibility is located in the Sociology Department. Mr. William D. Poe is coordinating the Social Service Sequence program.
