The Department of Social Work Education
About Us
The Department of Social Work Education (DSWE) at Fresno State is committed to the
education of social workers at the bachelor's and master's levels who will provide
social welfare services and leadership in the central San Joaquin Valley and beyond. The Department is committed to enhancing both the quality of life in the region and
the capacity of citizens to identify and address their own social welfare needs and
social justice concerns. Graduates of both programs intervene with individuals, families, groups, and other
small systems as well as with human service agencies, voluntary organizations, neighborhoods,
and communities.
