What is Social Work?

Social work is a profession that works to enhance individual organizational, and community potential. Social workers are employed in both public and private human service agencies and work with a variety of populations including individuals, families, small groups, organizations and communities.

If you are interested in enhancing people’s potential and believe in the worth and dignity of all individuals, then social work may be the career for you. We encourage you to discuss social work career opportunities with one of our faculty members.
