Inspiring faculty, high-impact field placements, collaborative projects — at our top-ranked School of Social Work, you have all the resources for success as you prepare for a professional career in social work practice, research or education.
Founded in 1920, the School of Social Work is consistently ranked as one of the best in the nation. Through innovative research that improves practice and enhances education, we search for solutions to challenges that include poverty, mental health, violence and substance abuse. We prepare social workers to make a difference.
The ranking is the second this week that places Carolina among the top five public universities in country.
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced adjustments to any number of Carolina traditions in 2020, and that will include University Day in October. In a historic event, Kevin Guskiewicz will be formally installed Carolina's 12th chancellor on Sunday, Oct. 11.
Although Carolina won't be hosting a traditional University Day celebration on Oct. 12, we will celebrate the anniversary of the nation's first public university through special content posted on unc.edu and our social media channels.
