The School of Social Work houses two research centers: the Social Work Aging Resource Center (SWARC) and the Center for Human Service Research & Development.
The Child Welfare Research Collaborative (CWRC) is comprised of faculty at San Jose State University’s School of Social Work who work collaboratively with community partners to conduct research on child welfare issues.
The mission of the Center for Human Services Research and Development is to contribute to the scope and purpose of the BASW and MSW Programs in the School of Social Work at San José State University, by conducting and facilitating the study and the development of social services.
The faculty in the School of Social Work are engaged in various research projects and scholarly activities. We are in the process of updating our list of faculty publications.
The SWARC site provides aging-related and gerontology resources for social work students, practitioners and faculty. SWARC is funded by a grant from the John A. Hartford Foundation and the Council on Social Work Education.
