COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is LIU Post's oldest, largest and most diverse academic unit. The liberal arts and sciences are the traditional core of LIU Post’s educational base and provide specialized learning in biology, criminal justice, earth and environmental science, English, foreign languages, genetic counseling, interdisciplinary studies, history, mathematics, political science, and psychology. Through these comprehensive programs, the College fosters the expansion of knowledge, the excitement of creative thinking and the delight of intense intellectual exchange between students and faculty members. The College's faculty includes more than 100 highly accomplished scholars, researchers and artists. What most unites these humanists, scientists, social scientists and mathematicians is a dedication to excellence in teaching. Classes are small and highly personalized. Students experience academics in a broad range of subject areas, explore multiple analytical strategies, learn to present ideas clearly and persuasively, and graduate with a degree that enhances their position in the professional world. If you have questions, please contact the dean’s office at 516-299-2233, or fax: 516-299-4140.

SWK 798 Introduction to Social Work Research The selection of the appropriate research question is an important issue in social work research as far as diversity is concerned. In this course, students are taught to pay closer attention to the implications and hidden presumptions and assumptions of the issue or topic being researched. Students are taught that failure to question the question may still result in the acquisition of knowledge; however, the process of acquiring that knowledge may violate various social work values and principles without adding to effective practice. Moreover, the use of that knowledge may also violate a number of social work values and principles. This course aims to improve students understanding of the place research plays and has played in social work practice. Using the Code of Ethics as a foundation for all research ventures, students will be taught the basic concepts of research question formation, psychometrics and use of measurement instruments. The course will introduce key components of research including research design, data collection, appropriate communication of research findings, and its relevance to the evaluation of practice, programs, and policies. Prerequisites of SWK 601, 602, 621 & 622 are required. Credits: 3 Every Fall
