The Department of Social Work Transitions to the School of Health Sciences

“We are thrilled to announce the transition of the Social Work program to the School of Health Sciences. This move presents exciting opportunities for the growth and development of our BSW program, including the ability and support to create a Master of Social Work (MSW) program By aligning with the School of Health Sciences, we will strengthen our connections to a wider network of healthcare providers, enhancing our students' learning experiences and expanding their professional opportunities. Additionally, this integration will provide invaluable support for our ongoing accreditation services, ensuring the continued excellence of our Social Work program. We look forward to the new possibilities this transition will bring!”
