Why Study Social Work at Edinboro University?

Edinboro's Department of Social Work prepares undergraduate and master degree graduates for competent and effective social work practice.

• Rigorous curricula focus on the importance of human relationships, social and economic justice, cultural competency, advocacy for oppressed and at-risk populations, lifelong learning and active participation, contributions and leadership in the larger community.
• Extensive field education gives students a range of learning experiences and opportunities to develop and apply social work knowledge, values, ethics and skills.
• A recent study revealed that 96 percent of Edinboro's social work graduates obtained professional employment in the field. Alumni of the B.S.W. degree program have considerable success in admission to graduate schools.
• Programs in both the B.S. Social Work and Master of Social Work are fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education.
