The School of Social Work Experience
The School of Social Work is interwoven into the fabric of the University of Illinois campus and has a long-standing history with countless organizations, agencies, alumni, and individuals in the Champaign-Urbana community and beyond.
Getting Connected
Our faculty are highly-trained, engaged, and immensely supportive. Connection = the opportunity to grow and explore your interests.
Our School: Small classes, big impact
Students and alumni often tell us that our small class sizes, hands-on faculty, and the feeling of personal connection all help pave the way to an invaluable learning experience.
Why Social Work?
Our society faces serious, interrelated, and large-scale challenges–violence, substance abuse, environmental degradation, injustice, isolation, and inequality. We need social workers’ unique blend of scientific knowledge and caring practice more than ever.
Beyond the Classroom
Get real life, hands-on experience that will benefit you in the classroom, in the field and in your career.
