Welcome from the School of Social Work at Western New Mexico University.

We offer practical degrees in fields with excellent employment opportunities. Social workers work with people in health care,  human services, children’s protective services, therapy, hospice, agency administration, public schools . . . well, we hope you get the picture! If we can help, please contact us.

SWK can prepare you for careers that make a difference. Classes for majors are typically small in size and have experienced faculty. Student skills are maximized through use of appropriate technology, various teaching styles, quality pre-professional experiences, and community services.

Our BSW degree (bachelor's in social work) has long been accredited by the Council on Social Work Education; our MSW entered candidacy with the accrediting body in June of 2011.
