PDF reflects print USC School of Social Work
 |
The School of Social Work, noted for the research strength of its curriculum and faculty, was ranked ninth in the 2005 edition of U.S. News & World Report’s America’s Best Graduate Schools. |
The USC School of Social Work offers programs of study leading to the Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in social work. These programs provide the student a broad background of knowledge about health and welfare problems; the meaning of programs past and present that have been established to meet them; and current issues and policy trends in the field.
At the same time, the student is helped to become a professional person through development of a philosophy in harmony with that of the profession: to prevent and mitigate severe social problems that challenge the viability of culturally diverse and complex urban settings; to build on the strengths of individuals, families and communities; and to lead the scholarly search for innovative, efficacious and just solutions.
