The social work program at SBU has three primary goals:
1. Equip students with the knowledge, values and skills to be competent generalist practitioners in local and global settings.
2. Inform students about compassion and respect for all humanity, based upon an understanding of God’s grace, the teachings of Christ, and the Bible’s instructions concerning poor and oppressed groups, in order to
promote attitudes and actions of service and advocacy.
3. Promote an atmosphere that values and encourages leadership and continued development as social work professionals through lifelong learning, professional development, research, service, and graduate education.
