The field of social work offers a rich tapestry of diverse career paths, each holding the potential for both personal fulfillment and profound positive impact on society. Our undergraduate Bachelor of Social Work program provides students with the knowledge and skills to do just that.
Social workers dedicate their professional lives to assisting a wide range of individuals, communities and organizations that are often marginalized or underserved. Our flexible Master of Social Work programs helps these individuals take their careers to the next level.
Mission
Through experiential learning opportunities, innovative research and student-focused mentoring, TCU's Department of Social Work prepares competent, ethical, culturally responsive social work leaders.
It trains its students to critically interrogate structural inequities, apply a trauma- informed approach and advocate for social change with local and global communities. By doing so, the department equips graduates to partner with diverse populations, specifically those who endure marginalization and oppression, to promote an equitable and just society.
