Master in Social Work

All MSW programs at Michigan State University are fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). All provide the academic courses and field experiences required to develop the ten core social work competencies identified by CSWE and the social work practice community. The primary focus of the MSW Program is preparation for foundation and advanced practice in clinical social work (micro-level interventions) and organization and community practice (macro-level interventions). The generalist foundation prepares students for practice through development of the ten core competencies at the beginning or basic level, through course and field experiences that provide the grounding for all professional social work practice, regardless of setting, specialization, or professional role.

The curriculum for both the clinical social work and the organization and community practice concentrations includes courses in human behavior in the social environment, social welfare services and policy, research methods, administration, practice methods, field education, and special topics. Both concentrations focus on the same ten core social work competencies, but prepare students for practice in these areas at an advanced level through both courses and field experiences.
