Our academic plan is designed to: promote efforts to develop and improve human services in a variety of settings; enhance practitioners’ ability to work with diverse clients; promote active efforts to address poverty, structural racism, and oppression; and serve professional and underserved communities by using distance-learning technologies in off-site programming.
