Mission of the Baccalaureate Program
|
|
| The central mission of the School of Social Work Baccalaureate program at Southern Illinois University Carbondale is to prepare professional social workers who are capable of delivering social services to meet the human service needs within the area, state, and the Lower Mississippi River Delta region, especially the needs of the poor and the oppressed and disadvantaged populations. The goal of the Baccalaureate program is preparation of professionals with analytic and generalist practice skills and knowledge that enable them to engage in ethical, responsible, and self-critical social work practice in services systems. A central focus of the educational program is on generalist practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities in rural areas founded on family and community based practice models derived from social systems theory. |
