Emphasis is placed on the strengths and growth potentials of people, individually and collectively. The Southern University School of Social Work is committed to a view of social work that is holistic and transcending in its approach. This mission embraces the mission and goals of Southern University at New Orleans, a historically Black university, which is to provide an environment conducive to learning and growth by preparing the student to demonstrate interest in and commitment to resolving civic and social issues and problems. Such practice is further guided by the School’s dedication to critical practice knowledge and skills and the essential values of the profession: service, social and economic justice, the dignity and worth of the individual, and the importance of human relationships. Quality educational experiences, undergirded by the School’s themes of advocacy, empowerment and transformation, prepare master students for agency based advanced social work practice.
The Mission of SUNO School of Social Work is to prepare competent and effective social workers committed to address the strengths and challenges of a diverse population in a changing and evolving global community.
