Overview
Why pursue a Master of Social Work?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of social workers is projected to grow 13 percent from 2019 to 2029. Job prospects are very good, particularly for clinical social workers.
When it comes to choosing an MSW degree program, what sets Simmons apart? We are committed to providing a personalized, coordinated, and integrated learning experience. Faculty and advisors supervise each MSW student's course load and work with students to help them select field education placements that meet their goals. The MSW program holds true to the Simmons mission: to provide transformative learning that links passion with lifelong purpose.
The Simmons University Social Work MSW offers flexibility: MSW students at Simmons can choose between traditional on-campus courses or online courses and can even dictate their pace of study.
Our innovative, hands-on MSW curriculum integrates education and practice with social justice values and multicultural perspectives, with a strong emphasis on field education. As clinician activists, our MSW degree students, faculty, and alumnae/i all work to develop solutions to social and racial injustice through their teaching, research, clinical practice, and community engagement.
