Ready to transform and renew

The social work program prepares students for community-centered generalist social work practice, but it does so much more as well. Taught from a Christian perspective, the program emphasizes that community well-being is essential to a common good, that each community has gifts and assets, and we are called to participate in the life of a community. Students leave on fire to make a difference in the world.
