The SSW offers both the BSW and MSW programs from the strengths’ perspective, with emphasis on practice labs, small classes, and specially reinforced field instruction. The MSW program offers two concentrations; a clinical concentration, specialized coursework in solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, and motivational theories and a macro concentration that focuses on the interaction between the client and large systems.
