The course is the first in the two-course foundation--Human Behavior and Social Environment sequence. HBSE I emphasizes the significant biological, psychological, social, and spiritual developmental milestones during the life span stages of conception through childhood and their associated life events. It studies the various components of human behavior and social environment and provides a framework for studying the person-in-environment from an ecological approach. Designed for the generalist practitioner, the course explores multiple factors (e.g., socio-structural factors and human diversity) that shape the development of individual growth and social interaction and explores a range of theories. In addition, it provides a conceptual model for viewing behavior from a holistic perspective within the context of a Black Perspective, strengths perspective, empowerment, and professional values and ethics.Prerequisites: Junior status, SCCJ 101, PSYC 201, or consent of the Instructor.Credit, three hours.

It also emphasizes a generalist perspective in social work practice problem-solving/planned change process. Basic concepts include centrality, estimation of variability, probability and the normal distribution, precision of estimate, group differences, ANOVA, single subject design, regression, and correlation. Computation problems and examples will be keyed to generalist social work practice as aids in developing an understanding of substantive material presented.Prerequisites: Completion of Math General Education Requirements.Credit, three hours.

The course is the second in a two-course foundation policy sequence. Consistent with the generalist perspective to social work practice, the purpose of this course is to ensure that the student is able to analyze social welfare policies within a specific conceptual framework. The course will help students to apply the framework of analysis to study and evaluate various social welfare policies. To this end, students will examine residual and universal social welfare benefits and related policies regarding their goals, recipients, entitlements, how social welfare programs are financed, and their effectiveness and adequacy, etc. The course will also examine the degree to which the concept of social and political justice bears on the nature and scope of social welfare programs and the policies that govern them. Particular emphasis will be placed on policies that address poverty racially oppressed groups and other populations at risk that have become central issues in the analysis of the welfare system. Managed care, welfare reform, privatization, and political ideologies will be discussed within the context of their significance in any analysis of social welfare programs and related policies of the millennium.Prerequisites: SCWK 315.Credit, three hours.
