The University of Utah College of Social Work recognizes the interdependence of people and the environments in which they live. Therefore, we join in common unity with others to shape social institutions, policies, services, and interventions to prevent and alleviate human suffering, enhance individual, community, and global well-being, and promote social and economic justice.

We prepare students for social work practice through the critical evaluation and application of existing and emerging theoretical frameworks for practice. We honor scholarship in its many forms and contribute to the development of social work knowledge through research and practice intervention. We demonstrate our commitment to service through active involvement in the community.

Our work is directed by the following values and principles: freedom of inquiry and open debate; inclusion and shared leadership; respect for self-determination and the need for accountability; and the affirmation and promotion of human diversity.
