Does CUSSW offer a clinical social work program?
Sixty-five percent of our students select the Advanced Clinical Social Work practice method area. This clinical concentration emphasizes assessment, intervention, and evaluation within a field of practice, using individual, family, group, and case management strategies. An ecological perspective — the assessment of individuals, families, and groups in relation to their environments — enables students to conceptualize and develop clinical practice interventions. Faculty have expertise in, and teach from a variety of perspectives, including, but not limited to, feminist, social, constructionist, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal and family systems theories. Faculty may specialize in one theoretical framework but they teach techniques and interventions developed from multiple theories. For more information on this area, visit the Practice Methods and Fields of Practice page.
