Program Goals

The Master of Social Work program derives its program goals from the mission statement of Indiana University School of Social Work. They are also formed by the Curriculum Policy Statement of the Council on Social Work Education (1992). The program goals are to:

  1. Educate students to be effective and knowledgeable professionals prepared for advanced social work practice in the 21st century.
  2. Build upon a liberal arts perspective to prepare students to continue their professional growth and development through a life-time of learning, scholarship, and service.
  3. Educate students to understand and apply the fundamental values and ethics of the social work profession in their practice.
  4. Prepare students for social work practice with diverse populations and with client systems of all sizes.
  5. Educate students about the social context of social work practice, the changing nature of those contexts, the behavior of organizations, and the dynamics of change.
  6. Engage in scholarly activity including the discovery, integration, application, dissemination, and evaluation of client-centered and solution-focused knowledge.
  7. Conduct service that promotes the general welfare of all segments of society and promotes social and economic justice.

IU School of Social WorkPartnerships

Indiana Child Welfare Education and Training Partnership

The Indiana University School of Social Work works in collaboration with the Indiana Department of Child Services to better protect children at risk of abuse and neglect. A key to this collaboration is the creation of the Child Welfare Education and Training Partnership. The Partnership is designed to provide high quality social work education and statewide training for public child welfare employees.

Center for Social Health & Well-being

The Center for Social Health and Well-being is to support and conduct research, evaluation and training programs, in consort with external partners, that can address human and social needs faced by individuals, organizations, communities, and societies.

National Child Welfare Workforce Initiative

Our aim is to help you to understand the Indiana Trauma-Informed Child Welfare Fellowship Program and programs associated with it. We are excited about the practice of child welfare in Indiana.

Institute for Juvenile Court and Corrections Research

Rather than relying solely on textbooks or lectures, faculty, students and researchers will be able to use IJCCR's video library for a unique firsthand experience that is second only to onsite training.

IU School of Social WorkOffice of Education Assessment
