Strategic Plan
UT Social Work is committed to supporting our community members who come from across the state and around the world and who bring a variety of perspectives and experiences. Since its inception, social work education and practice have advanced the values and ethical principles of social justice and human flourishing. These opportunities, values, and ethical principles drive our work.
Texas Social Work Workforce Study
Understanding The Social Work Workforce
At the request of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, UT Social Work and The University of Texas at Austin prepared for the State of Texas a study on the workforce needs of social workers in the Lone Star State. The study revealed a significant unmet demand for social workers in Texas, with the gap expected to increase through the next several years.
