Mission

The mission of the Master of Social Work Degree Program at Fayetteville State University is to prepare students for professional social work practice and leadership with a focus on issues concerning children, families, mental health and substance abuse. The program is designed to prepare students to practice with individuals, families, groups, communities, and organizations in rural and urban settings. Students are prepared to engage in prevention, treatment, intervention, clinical practice, research, and administration activities that promote human well being. The program seeks to equip students with knowledge, skills, and values to respond to the needs of alleviating oppression, poverty, and discrimination in a multicultural society and in the global community. Students will matriculate in an environment that promotes diversity, stimulates desire for lifelong learning, and brings together faculty, field instructors, social work professionals, and students for collaborative learning
