Overview

Social Work from University of Delaware prepares students to address the social problems affecting our global community—regardless of race, ethnicity, disability, religion, gender and/or sexual orientation.

Quick Facts:

Social workers support individuals and families through a wide range of life changes or challenges, including adoption, divorce, aging, terminal illness, loss of housing or employment, mental health, substance use and more.

With one-year, 16-month, two-year and three-year pathways to degree completion, students of the program can customize their timeline toward graduation.
