From helping individuals and families to advocating for entire populations, your career as a social worker can make a real difference. It all starts here at Dominican University.

We take a global approach to social work education. Why? Because we know context matters in social work. Context for communities, for culture and for each individual’s experiences in the greater world. We work hard to expand knowledge and lower barriers for aspiring social workers so they can become the advocates that people need—whether working in gerontology, in military social work, in child welfare or as a school social worker.

Whether you study social work online or on campus, you’ll collaborate with faculty and peers, enjoy in-field experiences and develop real-world skills that will help you serve and advocate for your clients in the field. And, you’ll be prepared to compete in the workforce thanks to our in-demand specializations (gerontology, military social work, child welfare and school social work) and dual-degree options.

Join us and help impact real change as a Dominican-educated social worker.
