Mission

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.
