Explore Opportunities in Social Work
See the difference you can make
Our social work program is known in the industry for producing top-notch graduates. Much of this success comes from the experiences we provide outside of the typical classroom coursework. Our students are participating in faculty-student research, pursuing internships in their fields, and studying diversity through cultural immersion and study abroad. These opportunities allow you to gain valuable perspective and experience to prepare you for a career in social work. We encourage you to take advantage of one or all of these opportunities available, so don’t hesitate to ask us how.
