Our MSW is designed to help you become a leader in the field of social work by offering advanced training in research, generalist practice, and human behavior.
Throughout this MSW program, you will study practical methods for working with individuals, families, and communities. You can also become equipped to sit for social work licensure exams and pursue the credentials you need to further your career. Additionally, because the general cognate has no set courses, you can mix and match various electives to create a personalized degree plan.
