The Social Work program curriculum combines liberal arts and sociology courses that include community-based learning experiences with professional social work courses.
“As an educator and social worker, it is my responsibility to support and empower my students in and outside of the classroom. I encourage students to call out injustices they see around themselves and advocate for their own educational needs. This in turn helps them become effective advocates for those they will serve in their social work career. “
Elizabeth A. Davis
Associate Professor
Director of Social Work

Social workers assist and support individuals and families in every stage of life across communities, seeking to address emotional, psychological, physical, and economic needs. They empower groups, organizations, and communities to employ change on global levels. Social workers advocate for change to ensure equitable and inclusive access to all resources and opportunities required to meet basic needs and to develop fully.
Siena Heights University’s Social Work Program offers a “generalist practice” curriculum as the application of social work knowledge, skills, values, and process to identify needed changes, develop intervention strategies, and implement the change process with all sizes of systems including individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. The program provides professional faculty (with expertise in child welfare, trauma-focused/brain resiliency, human behavior), small class sizes, and practical hands-on learning.
The program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) and is subject to its accreditation standards.
