Venue description

The mission of the Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) Program is to provide leadership to clinical social work practice with children, youth, and families in both urban and rural areas. The program seeks to prepare social work practitioners who are responsive to the need for empowering services which promote economic, political, and social justice for all groups, especially those confronting discrimination and oppression. Thus, the program works to increase the pool of graduate social workers by recruiting the most promising students who reflect the diversity of the state, the nation, and the global community to matriculate in a nurturing academic environment. The program prepares students for successful scholarship, leadership and advanced clinical social work practice which exemplifies the values and ethics of the profession.
