Mission    

We seek to prepare responsible, competent, and effective baccalaureate level social work practitioners. This mission is grounded in the mission of Providence College --scholarship, service, respect for the dignity of all people, and responsible productive citizenship within our society and in the global community; the core values of social work--service, social and economic justice, a belief in the dignity and worth of the person and the importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence; and the purposes of social work education--to prepare competent and effective social work professionals, to develop social work knowledge, and to provide leadership in the development of service delivery systems. We endeavor to uphold the promise embodied in our mission through creating a personalized community of learning that practices and engenders these commitments and that fosters personal responsibility for one’s learning and professional development.
