School of Social Work

The School of Social Work at the University of Georgia aims to prepare practitioners and scholars who will be leaders in the elimination of oppression and inequality through an emphasis on skill-based social work practices, policy development, and research initiatives.  While many theories underlie the practice of social work, the school emphasizes the application of a social ecological framework and is grounded in systematic inquiry.  Through the academic, service and research programs, the school promotes the goals of economic and social justice for individuals, families, and communities.
