The National Catholic School of Social Service (NCSSS) educates students of diverse backgrounds who share a deep commitment to the values of social justice, service, and scholarship in accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Recognizing that the measure of a just society is how it treats the least among us, NCSSS faculty build knowledge and raise awareness for means by which we may create communities that prioritize responding to the needs of the poor and vulnerable as integral to the common good. This priority follows from our Christian anthropology that views the human person as a child of God.
