The Social Work Program at Cedar Crest College is dedicated
to the provision of the highest quality educational preparation of students
for entry into beginning
social work practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations and
communities. Consistent with the mission of the college, the Social Work Program
seeks to provide students with a liberal arts perspective and particular focus
on the development of women. The Social Work Program is philosophically guided
by a holistic approach to practice that includes the bio-psycho-social-spiritual
dimension of the human condition. The Social Work Program is also committed
to preparing professionals who will work to alleviate poverty, oppression,
and discrimination through a dedicated advocacy for social and economic justice.
