Welcome to the Department of
Social Work and Family Studies

The Department of Social Work and Family Studies offers a major Social Work, and a concentration in Family Studies.

Social Work and Family Studies are fields of study that build upon the liberal arts to prepare students to identify the changing needs of individuals, families, groups and communities, develop the knowledge and skills to satisfy those needs, and explore policies and programs that prevent and address social problems. Our courses integrate cross cultural, global, and experiential learning.
