Program:
The Social Work Department at Utica University oversees the Master of Social Work (MSW) program. The MSW program prepares professionals to practice clinical social work with individuals, families, and groups; to encourage post-traumatic growth and flourishing using evidence-based, recovery-oriented mental health interventions; and to serve as scholars, advocates, and leaders in communities and organizations, cultivating a more just and humane society at large.
Through the Social Work Department at Utica University, the Master of Social Work program offers:
- First of a kind focus on recovery-oriented clinical social work in the nation.
- All synchronous and asynchronous education is completely remote, with the exception of field placements.
- Small student to faculty ratio (8:1) in field placement and (20:1) in generalist and specialization courses.
- Flexible curriculum that supports one class at a time to complete the program just over 2 1/2 years.
- Field placement allows for flexible schedules to accommodate student practical needs.
- Focus on preparing for successful completion of the licensure exam.
- Strong commitment to racial equity and social justice.
