UNIVERSITY OF IOWA
SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK
The University of Iowa School of Social
Work's mission is to build knowledge about compelling social
welfare issues, policies and practice interventions and integrate
that knowledge in teaching and public service. Using family-centered
and community-based practice approaches, the School prepares
highly qualified culturally competent social work scholars and
practitioners with a commitment to social justice and social
work values and ethics. The School of Social Work achieves its
excellence in part because it functions within The University
of Iowa, a Carnegie Research Institution with high standards
of academic excellence and a strong emphasis on research.
The School offers two degrees in professional
social work practice, the BA (entry level) and the MSW (the terminal
practice degree), and has recently initiated the PhD. As the
oldest, largest and only comprehensive school of social work
in Iowa, our mission includes serving the entire state through
on-campus (Iowa City) programs (BA, MSW and PhD) and distance
education MSW programs in Des Moines, the Quad Cities and Sioux
City. The BA program has a generalist focus and the MSW program
has two sub-specializations--family centered practice and integrated
practice. The PhD program has two sub-specializations--children
and families and the elderly and families.
