专业概况

The program provides a rigorous intellectual base, an opportunity for effective skill development, and an educational perspective that views human diversity as desirable and enriching to society. Students are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values appropriate to the social work profession, the conceptual base of professional social work, the broad-based research strategies of the field, and the various social work roles and intervention strategies used in social work practice. Students may enroll in the Traditional program full-time (2 years), accelerated part-time (2.5 years), or extended part-time (4 years). We also offer a full time (1 year), accelerated part-time (1.5 years), or extended part-time (2 years) advanced-standing program.

CAREERS IN SOCIAL WORK

Graduates of the joint Master of Social Work program hold a variety of positions in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. The alumni roster includes directors of local agencies and other nonprofit organizations, as well as program planners and managers working in a broad spectrum of human service agencies.

PROGRAM OPTIONS

There are two distinct program options--the Traditional MSW program or the Advanced standing program.

THE TRADITIONAL MSW PROGRAM

The first option is the Traditional MSW program which is a 60-credit masters program and typically takes 2 years full-time, 2.5 years accelerated part-time, or 4 years extended part-time.

CLINICAL OR ADVANCED GENERALIST SPECIALIZATION

During the specialization year, all students (Traditional and Advanced Standing) will be required to select a specialization-either "Clinical" or "Advanced Generalist." Applicants will be asked to state their desired specialization in their application materials.

CLINICAL SPECIALIZATION

Students in the clinical specialization develop skills to be competent in the practice of psychotherapy, that is, to provide behavioral and mental health assessment and treatment for individuals, couples, families, and groups. The clinical specialization integrates a trauma informed curriculum. Students trained with a clinical trauma-informed specialization can be prepared to work with a range of clients in mental health clinics, hospitals, child welfare, social serve agencies, substance abuse settings, domestic violence and rape crisis centers. Graduates will also be prepared to address neighborhood violence, gun violence, and gang-related violence providing individual and group therapy, crisis intervention, and programs for victims. This is the most common path to licensure.

ADVANCED GENERALIST SPECIALIZATION

The advanced generalist specialization prepares students to assess and intervene with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Students develop competencies for practice in settings that prepare them to take the Advanced Generalist examination for Ohio's Licensed Independent Social Worker license. Social workers with an advanced generalist, multi-dimensional skill set work in hospitals and nursing homes, rehabilitation, child welfare, aging, developmental disability, settlement houses, social service agencies, and in advocacy, community education, community organizing, and other settings serving clients and communities.
