Overview

The Social Work program at Middle Tennessee State University promotes excellence in advanced generalist social work education, research, and practice. Students take online courses, attend in-person courses one or two evenings a week, and participate in community internships.

The master’s candidates receive training to work in either administration or clinical practice. Graduates are eligible for social work licensure in all states. The program aims for enhancement of human well-being, diversity, and social justice through developing and improving systems of public social services, especially for children and families.

Social workers are employed in a variety of settings, including mental health clinics, schools, child welfare and human service agencies, hospitals, nursing homes, home care agencies, residential treatment programs, and private practices.
