History of the Social Work Division   Social Work Department Established in 1964 Mission Statement Faculty Diversity Statement Where are MSW Graduates now?

CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, SACRAMENTO DIVISION OF SOCIAL WORK – MISSION STATEMENT The Division of Social Work, located in the California state capital, strives to prepare ethical and competent social workers who can both lead and serve our richly diverse populations in the development and delivery of services that contribute to human well-being and social justice. The Division offers professional undergraduate and graduate degree programs that prepare competent and reflective social workers who apply critical thinking in social work practice and research. Rooted in long standing and evolving partnerships with community based agencies, educational institutions, local and state government, we prepare students to effectively serve culturally-diverse and vulnerable individuals, families and communities in various areas and capacities including as practitioners, leaders and social justice advocates.

It is expected that students entering and participating in our program learn to honor and respect diverse life experiences while challenging biases, prejudices, and discriminatory practices perpetuated by themselves or others. *This includes biases, prejudices, and discriminatory practices held toward gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender individuals, people of color, people living with mental or physical disabilities, the aging, people from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, and people of different genders.

Therefore, any prospective student contemplating applying to the Division of Social Work should examine carefully her/his own issues or beliefs which might impede her/his ability to comply with the values expressed in the above statement
