The academic program for the Social Work program through Aurora University is difficult but informative. This program takes a direct course to prepare individuals to enter the profession of Social Work Ready to make a change in the communities and environments they serve. This program teaches professional and personal responsibility within the profession. This program takes a direct look at creating healthy boundaries and reducing the effects of burnout on professionals since the field of Social Work can deal with serious difficult topics. I have learned a lot from my professors and the knowledge gained has given me the preparedness to pursue my education further to make more of an impactful change. I hope that others look into the Aurora University Social Work program because not only is the school diverse and inclusive of all different student types it truly is a school that prepares the students for life after school.
The online program for the Social Work degrees are interactive and demanding. The professors and academic staff are amazing at supporting and answering questions regarding any aspect of the coursework, internship programs, career placement, tutoring, and student life. The institute places a high level of care and consideration into student life and mental health but their outreach lacks for online students.
I appreciated the hands-on guidance that I received along with the quick responses to any questions that I had and challenges that occurred along the way. Everyone on staff has been great to work with. Going back to school after 35 years is difficult, but I have managed to do it and am determined to continue on to the MSW program. I am grateful for all the encouragement from all the Social Work Professors that age does not matter, and to look beyond that barrier. I have not had one negative experience at Aurora University.
