Welcome

For more than 40 years, the School of Social Work (SSW) has prepared professionals for the practice of social work with vulnerable populations.  The mission of SSW is to eliminate social and economic injustice through access to resources and provision of effective services, advocacy of the rights of clients and communities and development of programs and policies that provide equal opportunities for each person and community. 

Programs include the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW), the beginning professional degree that prepares students to work across populations and systems and the Master of Social Work (MSW), the advanced professional degree required for professional licensure..

We offer classes at several campuses on a variety of schedules to meet different student needs. Our curriculum is fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education   We provide the generalist curriculum required for BSW students, and  for MSW students, both a foundation in generalist social work as well as  advanced concentrations in clinical social work, management and planning or community and policy arenas and specializations in children and families or health/mental health.

Career paths in social work include fields such as child welfare, mental health, health services, substance abuse, corrections, school social work, homelessness, domestic violence, hospice services, international social work and work in local, state, and federal government.
