Social Work Student Opportunities
Students studying social work at Carthage have many opportunities to enrich their education.
J-Term
January Term, or J-Term, is a month-long period of study in January in which all academic departments offer innovative courses on campus, as well as study tours in other countries. While many students use J-Term to fill an academic requirement, others gain valuable global experience by traveling abroad to countries all across the world. Social work faculty have led a Comparative Health Systems course to Norway, Spain, and Portugal.
Student Organizations
Carthage social work students can get involved in a number of student organizations dedicated to putting what’s learned in the classroom into practice. Join Social Work Student Association, Circle K, and more.
