What is the SSWs teaching focus?
Loyola’s clinical social work focus prepares students to practice in areas where knowledge and skill in direct service are essential, including mental health, school social work, medical social work, child welfare, elderly services, substance abuse, employee assistance, and counseling of individuals, families and small groups. The concentration in leadership and management prepares graduates for program planning and resource management of direct service programs. • Do you offer international or study abroad experiences? Yes, we offer unique study abroad opportunities for students and alumni in Rome, Italy and Beijing, China. These are wonderful opportunties to earn graduate credit or CEU’s during the summer months. Course offerings are determined on an annual basis. We also offer a 10-week summer field placement in Chiapas, Mexico where students work with families and community members in a rural village.
