Valpo’s social work education is built on a strong liberal arts base and a solid social work curriculum that provides students with core foundational knowledge, values, and skills that are transferable to various settings, populations and social issues.
The information I learned at Valpo still has relevance and is actually the basis for many of the new approaches and theories I have been learning about and had unknowingly previously incorporated into my professional work.
