Equipping students to serve and lead

Our department of applied social sciences offers majors in social work, peacebuilding and development, and environmental sustainability, equipping students to follow EMU’s mission and “witness faithfully, serve compassionately and walk boldly in the way of nonviolence and peace.”

Our students develop into catalysts for constructive social change, serving and leading all over the world. They are working hand-in-hand with children in the slums of Calcutta, effecting change in U.S. policy while working and living in D.C., publishing scientific research with real-life applications.
