University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy and Practice:

The University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy and Practice is a driving force and the catalyst in supporting the University’s goal of achieving eminence, defined by Penn President Amy Gutmann in the Penn Compact 2020. For more than 100 years, SP2 (formerly the School of Social Work) has maintained its core values of promoting social justice and working toward the elimination of oppression. Our faculty are leaders in their chosen fields and have contributed extensively to research, practice, and publications on social problems that impact society on local, national, and global levels. The University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy & Practice, formerly Penn Social Work, is noted for its commitment to social justice and to educating students that will take an active role in the struggle against oppression. The School has articulated a social philosophy that shapes the educational programs it offers, the research it undertakes, and the leadership it provides to the profession. This statement of social philosophy – Penn Approach – is first and foremost an evolving philosophy. It reflects the faculty’s commitment to introduce students to a variety of perspectives related to social work practice, nonprofit leadership, social policy, research, racism, and oppression, and the nature of human behavior in the social environment.
