Social work is an action-oriented, value-based profession that assists people who experience challenges living in our fast paced, rapidly changing society. At Mount Mercy, you'll learn professional practice that emphasizes compassion and empathy for humans in need, dedication to the improvement of society, and commitment to the ideals of equality and justice, especially for those vulnerable to oppression and discrimination. The Social Work major is designed to give students an understanding of how people function, the challenges and problems they encounter, and the social services available to them.
