Welcome to the Department of Social Work

The mission of the Department of Social Work is to prepare holistic social work practitioners that are life-long advocates and collaborative leaders advancing health and well-being. 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.

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!
