BSW Mission

BSW Program Mission Statement

The BSW program at USI is guided by a commitment to educating generalist social workers through an anti-oppressive lens as they develop their roles as global citizens. Students and faculty collaborate to understand and address emerging social issues. We use scientific inquiry and evidence-based methods within a person-in-environment framework. We are guided by the NASW Code of Ethics and are dedicated to fostering life-long learners that advocate for social, racial, environmental, and economic justice, to enhance human rights and well-being for all individuals and communities. Through experiential learning, we prepare our students to be compassionate, competent, and ethical social workers who embody integrity and service.
