SOWK 8080 HUMAN BEHAVIOR AND THE SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT II (3 credits)
This course is the second part of a two-semester sequence within the MSW required curriculum. It focuses on major contributions of theories from the biological, social, and behavioral sciences that help to contextualize human functioning across the lifespan at the mezzo and macro levels of practice. Building upon developmental and lifespan theories introduced in HBSE I, this course allows the student to evaluate individual dynamics as they exist in mezzo and macro spaces. This class will also expose the student to contemporary issues of social justice, allowing the student to meaningfully connect learning to real-world practice.
