About
If you’re interested in a career helping others, including children, youth, families; working with marginalized and disenfranchised populations; addressing behavioral health needs of the community; bringing about social change; and if you have a passion for social justice and service, PLU’s social work program is a great fit. As a social work student, you’ll learn from professors who are experts in the field and passionate teachers, and you’ll get hands-on experience through a field practicum with a local social service agency. Social work graduates can directly enter the workforce or pursue graduate studies, such as a Master’s in Social Work. No matter your path as a PLU social work student, you’ll be well-prepared to work effectively with individuals, families, small groups, communities, and organizations, and be an ethical agent for global and local change.
