Why ɬÀï·¬ÏÂÔØ School of Social Work?


We do more than talk about inclusion—programs like our Black Leadership Initiative and Latinx Leadership Initiative are redefining diversity education and expanding access to opportunities for historically marginalized groups. 

Students spend time in the field, working with real people. Our robust field placements—both locally and abroad—allow you to put your learning into practice, gain hands-on training, and form valuable relationships.

Our supportive and inclusive culture begins on our campus and extends to our alumni network, where more than 9,000 ɬÀï·¬ÏÂÔØSSW grads continue to uplift one another after graduation, offering career guidance and networking opportunities.
