Our program emphasizes utilizing the latest research to inform best practice, understanding the reciprocal interactions of people and their social environment, and respecting diversity.


You have the ability—we'll give you the resources—to be the force of change in the world. Currently, a degree in social work is one of the most marketable in the country, and the Department of Labor projects significant job growth in the future.
