The Advanced Master of Social Work (MSW) program offers an accessible, advanced professional degree focused on social work practice in the fields of child and family welfare, health and social care, and international and social development.
Social work is a multifaceted profession guided by the principle of social justice. In an ever-changing society, the interlocking of human needs and social predicaments requires social work practitioners to have a high level of critical thinking and state-of-the-art professional knowledge.
As social work practitioners they need the skills to work with service recipients in order to satisfy their needs, to reinstate their well being, to tackle unjust conditions, and/or to induce policy changes. The purpose of this MSW program is to prepare our graduates to be competent social work professionals, equipped with state-of-the-art knowledge and skills, a critical analytic lens, and a social justice orientation.
Adopting social justice as the organizing principle, the MSW program focuses on three major fields of practice which reflect not only the current trend of social work professional services but also the expertise of the faculty members who have actively been engaging in scholarly activities to advance social work knowledge. The three fields of practice are: children and family welfare; health and social care; and international and community development.
The program seeks to affect accessibility by offering some courses online and during the Spring and Summer terms. While a thesis option is available for some students, contingent on faculty availability, corresponding research interests and funding, this option typically adds a year or more to the student's program. Most students elect a one-year course-based program integrated with an advanced practicum experience.
