Because we do what we do with active learning, our graduates are getting a ton more experience early on. This leads to greater internship opportunities, and ultimately greater career choices. Due to our smaller campus size, every student is seen (not lost in a crowd) and provided the chance to make awesome connections.
Every professor brings to the classroom exceptional social work experience. In addition to having wildly successful careers prior to teaching, our social work professors are still actively engaged in the real world as consultants or social workers. This makes a huge difference in what is taught in North Central University social work classrooms.
