  • About Us

    The Master of Science in Social Work (MSSW) prepares students for advanced social work practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. The program offers two concentrations, “Clinical Social Work” and “Administration and Policy Practice,” and provides experiential learning through internships at selected organizations with qualified educational supervision. The program organizes and integrates course content and field experiences using a systems/developmental framework and a bio-psycho-social perspective.

    • Military Social Work Practice
