 Mission Statement

The mission of the Department of Social Work is to provide a high quality social work educational experience that serves a diverse population and contributes to the enhancement of social service delivery systems in the west central Illinois region and throughout the state with a faculty dedicated to excellence in teaching, to scholarly and professional activities, and to social and economic justice for all persons.

"I feel the study of Social Work prepared me more in internal management skills, advocacy, public policy, community organizing, and human behavior than any other field possibly could have... I encourage anyone who is considering a future in the public or nonprofit sector to seriously consider what the Social Work Program has to offer."
