PROGRAM GOALS Social workers have a heart for social justice and for helping those in need. Your course concepts will consist of understanding human behavior, policy and building relationships with individuals, families, groups, communities and organizations. Fieldwork is all about applying what you learn in the classroom to real life. You will participate in a year-long, professionally-supervised internship experience in which you are encouraged to explore the diverse opportunities that are offered.

Your courses will provide you the tools needed to be a generalist, social work practice within the context of faith, service to others, and social justice. You will be prepared with the skills and knowledge combined with practice experience to immediately enter professional practice. Everything that you learn will be centered around the Council on Social Work Education’s nine competencies.
