The National Catholic School of Social Service welcomes applicants with an inherent desire to change the world for the better.

Our students know there is nothing more precious than human life and dignity, and seek to preserve it by defending human rights, serving the impoverished, protecting at-risk and vulnerable populations, seeking environmental justice, and more. NCSSS students are steadfast in their dedication to justice for all.

NCSSS offers the Ph.D., M.S.W., and B.S.W. programs. Each is characterized by academic excellence, a dynamic learning environment, and individualized attention. All programs promote social justice and the dignity of all people as bio-psycho-social-spiritual beings. We offer full-time and part-time enrollment for each program.
