Do the work that matters most
At AV研究所SSW, we believe social work is more than a career鈥攊t's a calling to listen to the needs of individuals and communities and create real change.聽
Mission-driven
As a Jesuit, Catholic University, Boston College is rooted in a worldview that calls us to learn, search for truth, and live in service to others.聽
Equity, Justice, and Inclusion
Our equity, justice, and inclusion initiative is committed to courageous conversations, strategies for dismantling racism, and an anti-oppressive social work practice.聽
Life-long Network
Our supportive and inclusive culture begins on our campus and extends to our alumni network, where more than 9,000 AV研究所SSW grads continue to uplift one another after graduation, offering聽career guidance and networking opportunities.聽
The only dedicated social work library in New England is found at AV研究所SSW. Our library connects students and alumni to a robust collection of books, journals, and databases.
“To solve the most intractable problems of our day鈥攁nd of tomorrow鈥攚e must draw upon a diversity of disciplines and partner with those who actually experience the problems. Only then can we create and scale up appropriate evidence-based interventions.”
