Master of Social Work

MISSION

The mission of the Master of Social Work Programme is to equip and prepare students for advanced generalist professional social work competency in both faith-based and non faith-based agencies, communities, and families.

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

The Master of Social Work (MSW) is a professional graduate degree that provides students with a specific set of knowledge, values, and skills that equip graduates to provide quality social work services. In the interest of best serving diverse communities and by extension populations, and because of social work’s professional commitment to excellence in education, it is essential that all students (both current and transfer) admitted to the programme are qualified, motivated, capable, and committed. In addition, admitted students should reflect and/or value diversities in society. These standards of excellence maintain both the integrity and credibility of the programme.
