Welcome to the Department of Social Work!
The mission of our department is to promote the well-being of people and society and advance social and economic justice.
Social work is a popular major for those interested in attaining a professional degree in the social sciences. Our programs are noted in the region for their unique use of a simulated lab clinical experience. Students participate in a mock clinical setting with hired actors that simulate actual experiences in the field, and complete their degree after extensive experience in an actual social work setting. For those with a bachelor’s degree, we also offer an advanced standing program that allows the opportunity to gain a master’s in only one calendar year.
Both the BSW and MSW programs are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education’s Commission on Accreditation.
