A Welcome from the Dean

Welcome to the UConn School of Social Work. We are an inclusive, diverse and vibrant community of researchers, clinicians, educators, staff and students committed to the advancement of social, racial and economic justice, and to the improvement of individual, family and community well-being. According to US News and World Report, we are ranked in the top 9% of social work graduate programs nationally and ranked No. 1 in the state. We recently celebrated our 75th anniversary and our more than 8,800 alumni are social work leaders throughout the region and nationally. With a research and sponsored programs portfolio totaling $42.7 million, our faculty are engaged in innovative and impactful scholarship. As researchers and practitioners, we have deep and long-standing ties with our state and community partners. Please learn more about our educational programs (BSW, MSW, Ph.D.) and our strategic plan.
