Department's programs are grounded in social justice, multisystem
practice, community engagement, and a commitment to preparing
social workers to address complex social problems across
individuals, families, organizations, and communities.

Both the Department and CCPA value applied, community-engaged
scholarship that generates knowledge while contributing to
meaningful improvements in the lives of individuals, families,
organizations, and communities. Faculty collaborate extensively
with colleagues across the University as well as with regional
agencies, health and human service organizations, schools,
