MSW Mission & Objectives
The Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) program’s mission is to prepare students for leadership roles in the effort to solve, in partnerships with others, the existing and developing challenges that confront communities in the United States and internationally. Graduate students will be educated to advance the needs and capacities of the total community by promoting social and economic justice while maximizing human potential. Graduates will be educated to commit themselves to addressing the life circumstances -- such as poverty, violence, discrimination, and disparities in social and economic justice – that fall disproportionately on vulnerable groups and challenge the spirit of the entire community.
