Social Work is a profession designed to assist individuals, families, groups, institutions, and communities to restore or enhance their capacity for social functioning, while creating societal conditions favorable to their goals (National Association of Social Workers, 2010).

Sociology is the systematic study of human societies and social groups. Sociologists study the workings of social organizations, institutions, and cultures, as well as their influence on the social behavior of individuals.

Accreditation: The B.A. and B.S. majors in Social Work are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).
