Welcome to the School of Social Work, reaching national and international audiences through The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare since 1974.
Welcome to the School of Social Work at Western Michigan University!
After more than 40 years, we are still vibrant and strong. We invite you to review our website to learn about educational opportunities in one of the premier school’s of social work in the nation. Our BSW and MSW programs prepare students for professional practice with adults, children, families, organizations and communities, as well as for practice in child welfare, health care, and mental health, among other settings.
In addition to holding continuous national accreditation from The Council On Social Work Education (CSWE), and to being the home of the Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare, we are fortunate to have faculty members with many years of teaching, research and service in the School of Social Work. Likewise, our faculty members are known for their professional practice experience both before and after starting their full time careers in higher education.
These characteristics have contributed to our success in training thousands of students for careers in human services throughout the state of Michigan and beyond. Our graduates leave the school prepared to be “change agents” who are able to make a difference in a world of human challenges. Consequently, the School of Social Work at Western Michigan University is a preferred choice by men and women seeking a quality social work education.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions about our programs or if you want more information to make decisions about our school of social work as your choice for social work education. We are committed to what we do—educate change agents—and we welcome you to join us.
