The MSW Program Mission
"Through particular attention to the strengths and empowerment perspectives and the promotion of social and economic justice the social work program is committed to teaching and furthering the development of the knowledge, practice skills, art and science of social work to graduate students in order to prepare them to hear, understand, include, and effectively respond to all voices with particular attention to those of the poor, the vulnerable and the oppressed."
The faculty and staff of the Graduate MSW Program at the University of Toledo is committed to this mission and through the advanced generalist model we strive to prepare our students to practice ethically in all settings and with attention to the values of the profession of social work with focus on social and economic justice.
