Social work’s history is closely linked to many of the world’s greatest human challenges – poverty, mental illness, drug use, crime, disabilities, aging, individual and family crises. The profession has been built on principles that include specific focus on social inequalities and injustice. As a result, social workers serve the needs of society’s most marginalized and at-risk individuals and groups.
Our graduates benefit by having a program that meets current and future service demands, is responsive to student and community needs and creates stackable credentials for an established career pipeline.
