The purpose of this course is to understand the relationship of social welfare policy to the human service system. Federal and state policies are analyzed and viewed as shaped by history, values, economics, and the political climate. Attention is given to areas of needed policy change, and an effort is made to expand one's thinking beyond existing policies, in order to consider policy alternatives and future directions for the social welfare system.
