At the University of Maine School of Social Work, we prepare self-aware, ethically grounded baccalaureate and masters social workers committed to recognizing and dismantling systems of oppression and building liberation.

We educate at the Baccalaureate and Master’s level in an atmosphere of individualized learning, respect for individual rights, and a celebration of diversity. Rooted in social work values and ethics, our curriculum equips students with skills engage, assess, and intervene with individuals, families, group, communities, organizations, and institutions; frameworks for understanding the complex interplay of human behavior and the social environment; analytical capacities for crafting research and policy; and a commitment to improving the quality of life for people in Maine and globally.

Graduates of our programs go on to serve individuals and communities across the state and nation as clinicians, policy makers, researchers, and supervisors.
