Welcome Statement (featuring Social Work Department Chair Dr. Amy Levin)

 

The mission of the CSUN Department of Social Work is to prepare professional social workers to promote the well being of individuals, families and communities in the urban setting. Our mission reflects both the universal values of social work “to promote the well being of individuals, families and communities” while reflecting the unique context of California State University Northridge—an urban setting in the heart of the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles County. We offer a unique approach to graduate level social work education because our program specializes in a single concentration: urban family practice. This focus offers students the opportunity to learn strategies for working in any urban environment at the micro (individual/family), mezzo (group/community) and macro (policy/societal) levels.
 
We are proud to introduce our relatively new program. We graduated our 6th class of 96 students in May 2012. We offer a 2-year and a 3-year program including offsite programs http://www.csun.edu/csbs/departments/social_work/resources/graduate_program.html. On behalf of all of us, we thank you for visiting out website and welcome your comments and questions.
