Overview

About Social Work at Saint Ambrose University

Generalist Foundation courses of the Social Work program offered by Saint Ambrose University emphasize empowerment, cultural competence, and social justice. You will learn how to assess, plan and intervene; affect change in groups, organizations, and communities; practice with diverse groups in diverse communities; collaborate with clients and focus on strengths; and create solution-focused dialogue.

During your second year, you'll study change strategies including case management, mediation, solution-focused approaches, use of community resources, psychotherapy and play therapy, systems approaches, organizational and community change strategies, and advocacy and networking.

You choose your electives. You can learn more about social policies affecting the elderly, couple and family therapy, child welfare, mental health services and case management, social work in schools, and more.

All students complete field placements. Students in the two-year, full-time program work 16 hours per week in different placements each academic year. Students in the Advanced Standing Program work one year in full-time residence. Part-time students work 16 hours per week during their second and third years of study. Our Director of Field Education works closely with you to find an organization that fits your interests and goals.

We prepare you for the Master of Social Work licensure exam by including the exam review in our curriculum, and exam pass rates are strong.

If you want to expand your skills even more, we are the only university in Iowa to offer a three-year MSW-MBA program.
