The School of Social Work offers fully-accredited BSW and MSW programs. The core curriculum for both programs includes social welfare policy, social work methods, practice theories, human behavior and the social environment, and field education. Throughout all courses diversity, social work values and ethics, and social justice are emphasized.
The School seeks to form a confident professional identity. It challenges its students to apply critical thinking, assimilate the theoretical and practical foundations of the field, embrace human diversity and promote optimal human development across the life span, provide effective service, confront injustice and oppression, and internalize the values and ethics of the profession.
The School strives to produce graduates who are creative in applying the generalist perspectives, who build capacity in all spheres of functioning, and who promote progressive change to enrich the general welfare.
