SW 410 Professional Behavior and Ethical Decision Making

3 credits

This course prepares students for competent and compassionate ethical practice as social work professionals in generalist practice. Students will have the opportunity to acquire and practice the skills of ethical decision-making, including identification of values, the processes and tools of ethical decision-making, value neutrality, confidentiality, client rights, and the limits and dilemmas of the professional relationship. A key focus of the course will be not on “finding the right answers” to ethical questions, but rather helping students discover ethical matters, clearly consider the values impacting their ethical decisions, and how to weigh the competing issues and draw conclusions about how to respond to challenging circumstances based on thoughtful and reasoned reflection.

Prerequisite(s): SW 100  or permission of instructor
