Welcome from Director Cheryl Springer
The School of Social Work at Salem State College is committed to social work education for students who want to understand and address complex and diverse human needs and rights. Our students learn by working with faculty who are dedicated to teaching, practice, civic engagement, and scholarship. In addition to participatory and supportive classroom environments, supervised field education occurs in leading agencies and organizations throughout the commonwealth.
The School of Social Work holds a long tradition of educating students for professional social work practice in public and non-profit services. Our curricula reflect the profession's values, ethics, and commitment to social and economic justice. Our graduates are competent and innovative practitioners and leaders who are making a difference in the lives of people, communities, and organizations.
Please use this website to learn more about the school and its undergraduate (Bachelor of Social Work) and graduate (Master of Social Work) programs. We invite you to consider our educational programs and the challenge of social work.
