Dedication to knowledge is the foundation of the University of West Florida. All that we do or propose to do must serve the transmission, creation, application, and preservation of knowledge. To that end, our mission is to enhance and promote the educational, cultural, economic, and natural environments of the people and region we serve through quality teaching, research, scholarship, creative accomplishment, and service.

We welcome you to the Department of Social Work, the home for several undergraduate degree programs in Social Work. We believe that our students pursuing careers in these programs will expand their horizons and explore great opportunities in this field. The programs are designed to meet the needs of Twenty First century professionals. Our Department facilitates the College of Professional Studies in building the new collegiate structure.
