Social Work Education
Research in the Social Work Education cluster, based on a Christian worldview, studies how to best prepare social workers for generalist practice and advanced levels of practice in areas such as counseling and therapy (mental health), advanced case management, administration, research, community development and social ministries. Our focus is on Christian scholarship.
