Director's Welcome
Welcome to West Virginia University School of Social Work where we are committed to educating future social workers who will make a positive difference in the lives of individuals, families, and communities. The WVU School of Social Work offers CSWE-accredited BSW and MSW programs located on our Morgantown campus and we also offer a fully online MSW program ideal for working students. Additionally, we offer one dual degree program: the JD/MSW dual degree. We are also home to a newly approved PhD program in social work and will matriculate our first doctoral student cohort in August 2023. We aspire to boldly address problems such as system racism and oppression, the addiction crisis, suicide, mental illness, child abuse and neglect, and chronic health challenges through innovative research, community engagement, and integrated, evidence-based approaches. Given the many life challenges and systemic barriers people face, we are committed to state of the art education, research, and community-based solutions that will meaningfully address the social and human problems of our time. Whether you are a prospective student or a future faculty or staff colleague, come join the dynamic WVU School of Social Work community. We are building the leaders and change agents of tomorrow today.
Let’s go.
Sincerely,
Director and Professor
