Overview

The Social Work program at Morgan State University is committed to the alleviation of human suffering and the improvement of the quality of life for urban residents.

Key Features

Because African Americans make up a substantial percentage of the urban population, and are also overrepresented among urban residents facing unrelenting social and economic problems, the program has a major focus on preparing its graduates to address, systematically and strategically, issues of poverty and socioeconomic disadvantage, interpersonal and community violence, substance abuse and mental health problems, social injustice and discrimination.
