Associate Professor Greg Scott has been teaching at Kuyper College since 1991.  In 1999 he was appointed director of the social work program at the College. Prior to that he taught both social work and sociology courses. Professor Scott has more than 25 years of professional social work post-masters experience as a case manager, therapist, administrator, supervisor and trainer. Professor Scott teaches Introduction to Social Work, Social Welfare Policy Analysis, International Social Work, Generalist Practice I, Generalist Practice II and Marriage and Family.

"Social work students are the future of the profession. There is no greater thrill than helping a student discover their hidden potentials, develop a personal worldview and create a 'professional self.'" 

Social work education is a passion of Professor Scott. His goal is to mold minds and develop skills as a Christian who does social work. "Abraham Kuyper would see social work as an important and necessary component of a Christian college education." Professor Scott, along with his wife, Carol, are active in the Vineyard Church. He plays Latin percussion, is proud of his daughter, Lindsay, who teaches second grade in New York City and enjoys watching his son Derek's collegiate track and field meets.
