Since its founding in 1917, the University of Minnesota School of Social Work (SSW) has contributed to the development of the field. It is ranked as one of the nation's best schools of social work—a leader in creative learning ventures through distance education, interactive television, satellite, and independent study. In the fall of 2007, the school launched its first undergraduate major, Youth Studies, and has offered undergraduate minors in Family Violence Prevention since 2001 and Social Justice since 2005.
