The University of Alabama - School of Social Work

The University of Alabama’s School of Social Work prepares scholar-practitioners and researchers committed to ending adverse social conditions and promoting societal well-being through teaching, research and service.

Our BSW program leads to direct employment and social work licensure in a wide variety of social work careers — in helping children, in work with older adults, in mental health, and in hospital and healthcare settings, among many others.

Our MSW program is offered as a traditional on-campus MSW program, and a primarily online MSW program. Our doctoral programs prepare students for leadership roles and careers in social work research and education. Students develop expertise working with highly respected social work researchers.
