Social workers positively impact lives by addressing both individual needs and societal challenges like poverty, joblessness, and family abuse. Our certified master's program equips students for influential positions within their communities and the field. It fosters analytical thinking about systemic obstacles that limit human potential, upholds principles of human dignity and equality, and develops competencies for working across diverse cultures. The program provides a one-year track for BSW graduates and a two-year path for those holding non-social work honors degrees.
