The Ohio State University is one of the nation's outstanding teaching and research universities. It currently is involved in formulating new policies and procedures to increase the delivery of high quality educational services. As part of this effort, the College of Social Work will undergo changes that will reflect the continuing development of social work education. The College of Social Work, with its 600 students, is a learning environment in which students and faculty have many opportunities for instructional relationships. Our students receive close mentorship from experienced faculty through field placements in local social, health, and recreational agencies.
Many students are able to become involved with faculty-directed research projects.
Beyond the excellence in instructional and research opportunities which we offer, we also are committed to helping you engage in experiences which will enable you to realize your potential as a human being. We welcome you to the College of Social Work. We live in a social environment filled with challenging opportunities and problems. Old human dilemmas persist, while new ones evolve. Each social inequity or injustice presents a challenge to the ingenuity, skill, and dedication of the human mind.
