The SSW offers Bachelor of Social Work (BSW), Master of Social Work (MSW), and PhD in Social Work degree programs, as well as multiple dual degree program options. The SSW has an extension education center in Manhattan, through which students can take MSW program coursework. The SSW is home to a collegial academic community committed to building a more equitable society based on the values of human dignity, inclusiveness, diversity, equality, and economic, environmental, racial, and social justice.

The SSW’s distinguished faculty include educators and researchers whose areas of expertise span a wide range of practice-oriented and policy-relevant areas including: disability justice; gender equality; intervention research; aging; intimate partner violence; the social determinants of health and mental health; structural racism; environmental justice; financial well-being; education; immigration, behavioral health and addictions; among other areas. The SSW has an enrollment of approximately 700 students in its BSW, MSW, and PhD programs with curricula grounded in a student-centered and evidence-informed pedagogy.
