The Graduate School of Social Work (GSSW) integrates social justice principles into all teaching and research, while addressing community needs. With intimate class sizes, you'll forge strong academic partnerships with faculty mentors. Personalized career guidance and support services assist in achieving your professional goals, while diverse groups and events—like the Shades of Brown Alliance for people of color and allies, or the Catalyst Series for Social Justice—offer networking beyond academics.
Pursuing a master's in social work with a Family Systems Practice specialization equips you for careers in family therapy and systemic interventions. These methods prove valuable when working with individuals, couples, families, organizations, and communities. Your training will enable you to assess social systems for cultural sensitivity across various environments, including mental health clinics, child welfare programs, legal institutions, schools, treatment facilities, private practices, and community organizations. By recognizing systemic power dynamics, you'll examine personal biases, cultural perspectives, assumptions, values, and emotional responses that may affect family relationships.
