Howard University's School of Social Work Rises In U.S. News & World Report’s 2020 National Graduate School Rankings

On March 12, 2019, The School of Social Work was ranked No. 25 by U.S. News and World Report's 2020 "Best Graduate Schools" listing. Dean Sandra E. Crewe, Ph.D., credits the school’s new dual degrees with business, public health, and divinity, for adding value to the program, along with other inter-professional education collaborations such as behavioral health. “The School of Social Work is excited about being ranked as 25 among our fellow programs. The increase in rank from 30 to 25 reflects the dedication, commitment and productivity of our entire team of faculty, staff, students, alumni and the entire university community,” said Crewe. “We have consistently been ranked as one of the top schools of social work because of our Howard brand that embraces social justice. As dean, I have benefitted from the foundation of excellence laid by previous deans as well as current administrators in our school and the university."
