Creating Solutions Out of Challenges

Social workers help individuals, families, groups and communities improve their quality of life. With our focus on the "person-in-environment" paradigm, our program uniquely prepares you to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who are vulnerable, oppressed or living in poverty.

The Social Work Program at Auburn University is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education’s Board of Accreditation.
