Unleash your potential and discover the impact of social work

School of Social Work

Social workers are the largest group of mental health professionals in the country. As a result, social work is one of the fastest-growing professions in the United States. Social workers can provide therapy, serve as medical social workers, work in schools, engage in policymaking, and conduct research, just to name a few.

At the FIU School of Social Work at Stempel College, studying social work is an opportunity to learn from renowned faculty, who are experienced mental health clinicians, policy analysts, as well as community-engaged researchers.
