graduates are prepared to be leaders in management and advanced clinical social work practice serving all areas of the population, in particular the increasing aging population, military personnel and the workforce population.
The MSW program’s mission is to prepare students with the specialized knowledge and skills needed to be culturally competent and ethical social workers in advanced social work practice.
The MSW program is a two year 62 credit hour program. A one year 32 credit hour advanced standing program will be offered to those who have completed a BSW degree from a CSWE accredited program within the last five years.
The first year of the program is the 30 credit hour foundation year. The second year is the concentration year and it is 32 credit hours.
Graduates are prepared to be leaders in management and advanced clinical social work practice serving all areas of the population, in particular the increasing aging population, military personnel and the workforce population.
While the MSW program is not currently accredited, we will be undergoing the accreditation process for CSWE which will take about 3 years.
However, we hope to be approved for candidacy status in June, 2010. If we receive candidacy in June 2010, then anyone who graduates from our program will be considered having graduated from an accredited MSW program which includes those who enter in Fall 2009.
You will be eligible to take the licensure exam and apply for job positions which require the MSW degree. Students are responsible for checking with their state for licensing requirements to ensure this program meets those requirements.
