In the 1950s, undergraduate courses in social work were offered at the Wisconsin State College, Milwaukee. In 1956, when the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) was established, the Department of Social Work was created and administered within the College of Letters & Science. In April 1963, the School of Social Work was established, headed by a director, and remained part of the College of Letters & Science. The School of Social Welfare was created in July 1965, headed by a dean, and was made independent of the college.
