The Department of Family
and Social Service offers a Family Studies major and a Social Work major.
Family Studies and Social Work are fields of study that build upon students'
liberal arts education to prepare them to identify the changing needs
of families, develop the means to satisfy those needs, and explore policies
and programs that address social problems.
The mission of the
Family and Social Service Department is to :
-
maintain
an identity as a collaborative department concerned with the well-being
of individuals, families and communities;

create an
intellectual community for faculty working in family studies, social
work, and related areas; and

support the
college emphasis on cross-cultural and experiential learning.
