Does the MSW program have a clinical social work focus?
All graduate programs in social work are required to offer content on direct practice. Most of the content on professional work or directly with individuals comes during the first part of the curriculum. The second part of the curriculum, commonly called the ‘concentration’ in graduate programs in social work emphasizes professional work within the context of community, and this emphasis includes agency administration, fund development, program evaluation, and other skills central to guiding and directing community-based agencies and organizations serving individuals, families, and neighborhoods.
