Students in our program work with faculty who are at the forefront of research in the field. The coordinator of the B.S.W. Program is also the co-director of the newly founded Institute for Family and Social Responsibility. This is a collaborative project with the School of Public and Environmental Affairs that s intended to serve state policy makers by pulling together university resources for analyzing social policy. In addition to social policy research, other research interests of faculty include welfare reform, political participation of students, and effectiveness of diversity programs. The school provides students with a computer site.
Students use technology-based resources in many of their courses.
