Social Work is one of the helping professions that is responsible for and responsive to assisting individuals, groups, families, organizations, and/or communities to enhance their capacity for social functioning, through the development of a thorough understanding of generalist practice. Graduate Social Work Education builds on that understanding through the development of advanced practice skills.

The Department of Social Work at Roberts Wesleyan College is the academic home of both an undergraduate major in Social Work and a graduate program leading to a Master of Social Work degree.  It also offers courses for a minor in Social Welfare.
