Department of Social Work
Inspiring Change Through Teaching, Scholarship and Service
Our mission is to use our Departmental expertise to improve the lives of people throughout the world. We accomplish our mission in three ways:
- By educating social workers to have the highest level of skills
- By providing leadership and expertise to the public which significantly improves the interaction of people and society
- By conducting change-oriented research to promote social and economic justice and to ensure the well-being of all people.
We are passionately committed to encouraging students' personal and
professional growth, to appreciating diversity, to using a global perspective
to view the world, and to preparing students to be highly regarded social
workers.
