Academic Programs
The Whitney M. Young Jr. School of Social Work offers programs at Undergraduate and Graduate levels. The School utilizes an Afrocentric, autonomous social work practice model to prepare culturally competent practitioners capable of intervening and working with systems of all sizes and resolving problems that particularly affect African American children, families, and males within the context of family and community. With concentrations in areas that deal with the most pressing issues in social work today, the School offers students something they just won’t find anywhere else.
