Welcome to the Department of Social Work

The mission of the Department of Social Work is to prepare students to become generalist and advanced social work practitioners that are lifelong advocates and leaders who advance social justice. We offer a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree and a Master of Social Work degree that are fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. In the Department of Social Work, across program levels, there is a commitment to foster policies and best practices that lead to positive change for students to uphold the core values of the social work profession. The core values: compassion for human relationships, social justice, dignity and worth of the person (understanding the fundamental rights of humanity), service to others, integrity, and social work competencies are founded on service to the exploited, underrepresented groups, and those that live outside the socially accepted margins of the local, state, and international communities.

Whatever program you choose, our faculty value student-centered high impact learning practices such as service-learning, study abroad experiences, rigorous community-based research, and effective teaching. All social work students complete a field practicum in a social service agency under the supervision of a qualified social worker providing real-life experience and integration of skills learned through our excellent curriculum. Our graduates are eligible to pursue licensure with the Texas Behavioral Health Council. A career in Social Work offers many options!
