MASTER OF SOCIAL WORK

Individuals with a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree are prepared for
employment as social workers; they may work in healthcare, mental
health, law or related fields. An MSW degree is a requirement for a job
as a clinical social worker, although healthcare and school social
workers may also need the credential. Since there are many fields
students can choose to go into, schools sometimes offer concentrations
for MSW programs, including mental health, child welfare, health,
organizational leadership or families.

Students in MSW or dual-degree programs must complete a certain


number of fieldwork or internship hours under the supervision of
licensed social workers. For online programs, the practical experience
can usually be completed through a local organization. Social work, as
the name suggests, is related to helping individuals, groups and
communities to enhance their individual and collective well-being. It
uses social sciences, sociology, psychology, political science, public
health, community development, law and economics to solve problems
at individual and community levels.
