Creating Solutions Out of Challenges

Social workers help individuals, families, groups and communities improve their quality of life. With our focus on the "person-in-environment" paradigm, our program uniquely prepares you to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who are vulnerable, oppressed or living in poverty.
