Master of Social Work

Throughout the MSW Program, students take courses in theory, policy, research, and practice methods, and benefit from intensive field experience. While the first half of the program provides students with a generalist foundation of social work knowledge, the second half prepares students for advanced practice in one of two concentrations:

• The Clinical Social Work concentration focuses on micro-level interventions appropriate for work with individuals, families, and groups.
• The Organization and Community Leadership concentration focuses on macro-level interventions appropriate for work within communities and organizations.

The student must complete 57 credits in specified instruction in social work. Required course work for both the Clinical Social Work major and the Organization and Community Leadership major are taken in the following areas:  social work practice methods, human behavior and the social environment, social welfare policy, research methods, and field education.

Additional information about the requirements may be found in the Academic Programs Catalog on the Office of the Registrar website.

Applications are reviewed and applicants are notified in a rolling process. We encourage applicants to submit the application and all supporting documents at the earliest date possible.
