 Whether you are a prospective student, one of our 3500+ alumni, or a friend interested in our School, we hope you will find interesting and useful information on these pages. Our degree programs enroll approximately 200 undergraduate students, 270 MSW students, and 30 Ph.D. students interested in careers in social work.

Our MSW program prepares students for advanced practice with children and their families or adults and their families. The School offers MSW students a choice of two formats for the MSW program: a traditional, on campus format and a new, primarily online format for distance learners.
Our School is a diverse community of teachers, researchers, learners, and support persons with shared values and aspirations. We focus on
-
solving bio-psychosocial problems,
-
improving individual and social conditions, and
-
promoting justice and human dignity.
