Description : The MSW is a pre-professional degree that prepares you to practice social work.
All accredited MSW programs require at least 900 hours of supervised field work in established agencies. Following foundation coursework in the first year, regular MSW students usually choose between direct work with individuals, families, and groups or organizing, managing, planning and policy analysis work with social agencies. Students are also required to specialize in a problem area, such as mental health, employee assistance, aging, health care, corrections, and child welfare.
Masters of social work programs can vary a lot in emphasis. Many allow students to specialize in methodology, public policy, work with different populations, etc. Some schools seek to prepare professionals for private practice in psychotherapy, others for work in public and non-profit social service agencies, and others for engaging in social planning and social change. (Needless to say, you should be very careful to choose a program that is compatible with your career goals.) A few schools also allow students to seek joint degrees such as the joint MSW/JD, or joint MSW with another masters degree in a health-related profession.
