Our collaborative and entrepreneurial community is dedicated to equity and committed to impact. We equip our students to think critically as social work and public health scientists; to succeed as independent investigators; and to understand and address local, national and global challenges. The excellence and support of our renowned faculty, the diversity and dedication of our students, and the unique opportunities available through our school and Washington University create an unparalleled academic environment.
