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.
The Social Work Program at Auburn University is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education’s Board of Accreditation.

An accredited program has sufficient resources to meet its mission and goals and the Board of Accreditation has verified that it demonstrates compliance with all sections of the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards.
