M.S.W. Degree: Clinical Concentration
The clinical concentration is for M.S.W. students who want to directly provide social work services and treatment to individuals, families and groups.
An M.S.W. graduate with this concentration is qualified to practice in a variety of clinical settings, such as hospitals, outpatient mental health programs, foster care and adoption services, schools, family therapy centers and hospice programs.
Students choose their concentration after completing the Foundation Phase of the M.S.W. program (the first 33 credits). Your concentration determines which courses you take in the Advanced Phase of your degree and which fieldwork choices you get.
CLINICAL CONCENTRATION - FEATURES
