Welcome to the College of Education & Social Work
Meet the Dean
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the College of Education and Social Work (CESW), where it is our mission to prepare
highly-skilled and ethical professionals to become fair-minded critical thinkers and
change agents who act with integrity in the pursuit of knowledge and strive for excellence
within their professions. The CESW fosters a culture of reflection, evidenced-based practices, intellectual
discourse, and respect for human diversity. The CESW empowers students to make a significant
impact on the world to improve individual and family lives and strengthening educational,
health, or community systems. Our conceptual framework grounds how we approach this
work. Read more about the Dean.

Please note, this legal determination does NOT apply to requirements at clinical sites. If clinical sites have requirements, i.e. drug testing, TB testing, clearances, vaccinations, we do not have the authority to override their requirements.

However, we cannot guarantee a placement can be located. Please be aware that delayed clinical experiences will impact time to graduation.
