The goal of the program is to prepare students with combined skills and values in both social work and leadership in faith-based organizations. The areas for which this dual degree knowledge is most appropriate are leadership and development of sponsored social services, therapeutic and counseling services with concern about spiritual care, development of life cycle, and family issues in the context of community.
