In 1943, Marjorie J. Smith became the first full-time instructor at the School of Social Work. In 1945, the School became the Department of Social Work with Smith as its first head. In 1950, the department's status changed, and its name reverted to the School of Social Work within the Faculty of Arts. In 1999, the School of Family and Nutritional Sciences was discontinued, and the Family Studies program was transferred to the School of Social Work. The School was then known as the School of Social Work and Family Studies. In 2007, the Family Studies program was moved to the School of Sociology.
