Welcome to the School of Social Work

French West Hall Home to the College Social Work

Our mission is to educate students for professional social work practice and leadership and to promote the development of knowledge and community service by faculty, students and graduates. We strive to effectively address the problems of a diverse metropolitan region. The CSWE Curriculum Policy Statement notes that the purpose of social work education is to prepare competent and effective social work professionals, to develop social work knowledge, and to provide leadership in the development of service delivery systems. The University of Cincinnati School of Social Work reflects this purpose in its curricula and its commitment to the pursuit of excellence in teaching. Both the BSW and MSW programs prepare students who will work to alleviate poverty, promote social justice, fight to eliminate oppression and discrimination, and prevent and resolve human problems.

The School of Social Work has experienced dramatic growth in recent years with an overall 70 percent increase in enrollment.  In the 2007/08 academic year, the School has approximately 530 undergraduate and graduate students, with many attending on a part-time basis while working full time in the social service field. Recent program initiatives include.

Graduate concentrations in: 
     Direct practice with specialization in child and family services, 
      health and gerontology, or mental health 
     Social welfare administration.
