Mission Statement

The mission of the Department of Social Work Bachelors of Social Work (BSW) program is to provide a quality educational program, including curriculum and teaching practices, that successfully prepares students for generalist practice that promotes social and economic justice and enhances human and community well-being for individuals, groups, families, and communities. For others not immediately entering the field after graduation, the program prepares students to continue their social work education at the graduate level. As an Historically Black College University (HBCU), the Department is committed to preparing African-American students, and marginalized and disadvantaged students for strength based generalist practice with other vulnerable populations. The Department develops its bachelor of social work (BSW) students鈥� core social work competencies, leadership skills, and knowledge of the global social work context. It also instills in early career generalist practitioners the importance of evidence-based practice and the rigorous evaluation of social work practice and programs.

Vision

The Department鈥檚 vision听 is for BSW program graduates to promote social and economic justice and enhance human and community well-being for vulnerable individuals, groups, families, and communities across the state, nation, and world. As generalist practitioners they also will engage in ethical and culturally competent practice. As society undergoes radical technological, economic, and social changes, students will empower those who are left behind and do so with a compassionate heart. We believe, as University鈥檚 co-founder, Booker T. Washington did, that, 鈥淓ducation is not what a person is able to hold in his head, so much as it is .... skill of hand, and strength of mind and heart; and we help you in these ways.鈥�
