History:
Social Work education began at the University of Nebraska in 1908. By 1934, a full
undergraduate program in Social Work was offered and was accredited by the American Association
of Social Workers. In 1937, the University authorized a Graduate School of Social Work, with its
own faculty, curriculum, and requirements for admissions and graduation. The Graduate School
became fully operational in 1940 when it was accepted as a member of the American Association of
Schools of Social Work.
In 1968, the Municipal University of Omaha became part of the University of Nebraska system
as the University of Nebraska-Omaha (UNO). In 1972, the Social Work program was administratively
transferred from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to UNO. The first UNO Masters of Social Work
degrees were awarded in May 1974. The School became a component of what was to become the
College of Public Affairs and Community Service.
Scope and Content:
Materials include curriculum policies, course descriptions, brochures, and programs for
special institutes, and newspaper clippings. Also included are several drafts of a proposal for
a field work training program for the Child Welfare Division. A 1943 upper division class paper,
"The Care of Refugee Children" by Betty Hutchinson provides an
example of the timeliness and relevance of the Social Work curriculum.
