The Bachelor of Arts in Social Work

  The Bachelor of Arts in Social Work program is fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).

  The Master of Social Work Program

The Master of Social Work program is in candidacy for CSWE accreditation.

 The purpose of the Master of Social Work (MSW) program is to educate students for careers as professional social workers by combining quality evidence-based academic preparation with field practice experience. The mission of the MSW program is to educate advanced professional social workers for practice with at-risk populations, particularly children and families. Housed within the School of Urban Affairs and Public Policy, the Department of Social Work is dedicated to (a) educating social workers with knowledge, values, and skills for evidence-based practice with children and families, (b) advancing the knowledge base of the social work profession and (c) providing regional leadership in the development and implementation of policies, programs and services for at-risk populations, particularly children and families.

Students must comply with the general requirements of the Graduate School (see Admissions Regulations, Academic Regulations, and Minimum Degree Requirements), the requirements of the MSW program and must exhibit high integrity and moral character consistent with the standards of ethical practice set forth by the National Association of Social Workers.
