黑料门
Dean's Message
Since its founding in 1914, the 黑料门University Chicago School of Social Work has educated leaders and dedicated clinicians in the profession. I have experienced this as both a student, graduating with my MSW from 黑料门in 1989, and now as Dean, where it is my honor to continue our tradition of providing transformative social work education.
I am proud of the extraordinary work being done here at each level of social work education – from undergraduate to doctoral students and beyond through our continuing education offerings for practicing social workers. We have reimagined our MSW programs, lowering our credit hour requirements from 60 to 49 to make a world-class social work education more attainable and affordable. Our innovative online programs, including the contiguous U.S.’s first fully Online Bilingual MSW degree, show our dedication to educating culturally competent social work professionals able to work with Latine populations.
Alongside our degree programs, we are committed to supporting the highest levels of research and scholarship. We have such a unique opportunity to impact the many diverse communities we serve. Our faculty are dedicated to research areas across the breadth of the social work landscape, including working collaboratively and interdisciplinarily to address the most complex of social and mental health issues.
And of course all of the work we do, both in the classroom and in our community, is informed by our Jesuit mission. It is at the center of all we do, focused on the cura personalis (care for the entire person), and is the vehicle through which we hope to achieve progress.

Respect for Diversity Statement
Guided by the NASW Code of Ethics and the mission of the University, the School of Social Work is committed to the recognition and respect for differences in racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds and in class, gender, age, physical and mental ability, religion, immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. We value ethnically sensitive and culturally responsive social work education and practice. We will uphold the ethical standards set forth by the profession and the Jesuit ideals of the university.
Students, faculty, and staff have a shared responsibility for championing social and economic justice for all members of society. This includes a commitment to anti-racist and anti-oppressive practice in order to eliminate personal and institutional discrimination and ensure access to needed resources and opportunities for all persons, especially those who are disadvantaged or disenfranchised. Power, oppression, and privilege are examined, and students, faculty, and staff are expected to be respectful of the opinions of others while at the same time striving to attain the ideals of social justice.
The School of Social Work expects that students, faculty, and staff will demonstrate comparable respect for the diversity of their classmates, faculty, and clients, and commit to addressing issues of marginalization, oppression, prejudice, and discrimination.
