The Code of Ethics of the National Association of Social Workers provides a framework and guide for the obligations and practice for participants.Given the program’s context, it is the mission of the School to prepare students for culturally-competent generalist practice and to promote social and economic justice on behalf of the peoples of the Southwest region.
