Since 1950, the Steve Hicks School of Social Work has prepared professional social workers for practice in a world of increasing complexity that still struggles to meet basic human needs. The school is currently ranked number five by U.S. News & World Report and celebrates an enduring legacy of bright students, talented faculty, dedicated staff, and accomplished alumni. This top ranking can be linked to the generous support of our friends and alumni who invest in the school’s mission and value the future of the social work profession.

Did you Know…?

The University of Texas at Austin now receives less than 12% of its budget from state funding. As the university transitioned from a state-funded university to a state-assisted university, the Steve Hicks School of Social Work has survived and thrived thanks to the private support we receive from alumni, friends, corporations and foundations.
