Key Summary
About: The Master of Social Work (MSW) provides advanced training in social work practices, focusing on specialized skills for various social services roles. This program typically takes approximately two years to complete. Students will engage in both theoretical learning and practical experience through internships and fieldwork. The curriculum covers essential topics such as human behavior, social welfare policy, and community organization.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue careers as licensed social workers, clinical social workers, or social service managers. Other opportunities include roles in mental health organizations, non-profit agencies, and government entities, focusing on enhancing community well-being and supporting vulnerable populations.
Designed in collaboration with the Department of Social Work in CSUN's College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, the program is offered fully online in two- and three-year formats. The two-year option is a full-time program with an intensive curriculum designed to help students complete their degrees and enter the field in as little time as possible. The three-year option, on the other hand, is an excellent choice for those who would prefer the same great curriculum at a less intensive pace.
