Office of Academic and Faculty Affairs

The Office of Academic Affairs oversees and manages the CSSW’s curriculum, development of new courses, faculty recruitment and development, grievances related to classroom or faculty issues, exceptions to academic policy, continuing education, and much more.

CSSW Faculty

Our full-time and adjunct faculty members represent the full spectrum of disciplines that make social work such a stimulating profession, from social policy to clinical social work to social enterprise administration.

Curriculum Committee

The Curriculum Committee is the major body providing oversight of the school’s MSSW educational program, including curriculum policy, design and content. It is the final authority except in those matters that are the explicit responsibility of other committees or are reserved to the Dean by University statute. The membership of this committee includes four elected and four appointed faculty members, several ex-officio school administrators, and two MSSW student representatives.

Course Proposals

Faculty submit the Course Proposal Form to the Office of Academic Affairs. The Assistant Dean of Faculty Development and Academic Affairs will send the new course proposal form and syllabus to the relevant Division for review. If the course does not fall into any Divisions, it will be reviewed by a faculty member assigned by the Curriculum Committee Chair. The faculty member may be invited to the Division meeting to discuss their course and the Division will then provide feedback on any required or recommended changes. Once the Division approves the course, the syllabus will be sent to the Curriculum Committee for a final review and approval. Within a few days of the course being reviewed, the faculty member will be notified of the Committee’s decision as well as the next steps.
