By the year 2000, a Bachelor's program in which field was established?

• A. Social Work
• B. Nursing
• C. Psychology
• D. Sociology

Answer: (A)

The question is about when formal bachelor-level programs started for different professions. By 2000, Social Work had widely established Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) programs across many colleges and universities, reflecting the profession’s move toward undergrad preparation for entry-level practice and the push for standard accreditation of undergraduate social work education. That standardization made a bachelor’s pathway clearly in place for social work by that year, which is why this option fits the timeframe.

Nursing, psychology, and sociology already had bachelor’s programs long before 2000, so the question highlights social work as the field whose bachelor-level track was well established by that time.
