专业的社会工作实践需要一系列技能和知识，使他们能够帮助个人解决个人或家庭问题，组织和授权社区团体并影响地方，州和联邦政策。我们计划的学生已获得社会工作教育理事会的认可，他们准备在多元文化系统中胜任工作，评估和评估组织和社区，并概念化我们全球社区的相互依存和相互联系。鼓励学生成为社区领袖，热情地追求在分配和提供所需服务方面的卓越表现，并努力和刻意地成为弱势群体和生态客户的倡导者。
The practice of professional social work requires an array of skills and knowledge that permits one to help individuals with personal or family issues, organize and empower community groups and affect local, state and federal policy. Students in our program, which is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, are prepared to work competently in multicultural systems, to assess and evaluate organizations and communities and to conceptualize the interdependence and interrelationship of our global community. Students are encouraged to become community leaders, to passionately pursue excellence in the allocation and provision of needed services and to diligently and deliberately become advocates for the disadvantaged and clients in their ecologies.
