Department of Social Work

Introduction

The major goal of social work is to improve human well-being and help to meet the basic needs of all people. Social workers help empower individuals, especially those who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty. Social workers are committed to social justice and enhancing the quality of life for individuals, families, groups, communities and systems.

The Bachelor of Social Work Curriculum provides a foundation for social work practices. Social Workers are trained in the generalist model of social work, which assures that professional social work skills, values, and knowledge can be applied in working with individuals, groups, families and communities.
