End-of-life issues are becoming a predominant topic within social work education. This study examined undergraduate social work students' interest in end-of-life practice. Through the use of qualitative analysis, it was found that students who were interested in gerontology, who were more comfortable with the dying process, or who had experienced more personal deaths were more attracted to pursuing a career in end-of-life practice. Those students who were not interested in end-of-life social work practice wanted to work with children/adolescents, viewed the topic as depressing, and were concerned about lack of practice skills. Suggestions for integrating end-of-life material into the undergraduate social work curriculum are included.
