Boston College Graduate School of Social Work

The Boston College Graduate School of Social Work prepares students for an effective and meaningful practice of social work.

Our mission is both professional and academic. By providing a professional framework that promotes individual dignity, respects diversity, and seeks distributive justice in the Catholic, Jesuit tradition, we instill in social workers the knowledge, values, and skills to initiate and sustain change and to provide visionary leadership.

Academically, we cultivate an atmosphere of intellectual discipline and innovative faculty and student scholarship and research that contributes to the knowledge base of the profession and improves society's understanding of the systems in which people, organizations, and communities thrive.
