Welcome to the Department of
Social Work and Family Studies
The Department of Social Work and Family Studies offers a major in Social Work, a major in Family Studies (through 2011), and a concentration in Family Studies (beginning with the class of 2012).
Social Work and Family Studies are fields of study that build upon the liberal arts to prepare students to identify the needs and strengths 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.
