Overview

The Master of Social Work program at Valdosta State can be completed on campus, online or in a hybrid format. All social work faculty members have practiced as professional social workers, are knowledgeable in a variety of areas and have experience working with many different client populations. Students in the program gain invaluable field experience by completing two separate year-long practicum placements. Students have opportunities to gain additional experience by participating in My Friend's House and South Georgia CARE-NET, two programs sponsored by the Valdosta State social work department. My Friend’s House is dedicated to providing a safe environment for those who are impaired by Alzheimer's disease and dementia. CARE-NET is a program that strives to find new and innovative ways of helping and supporting informal and formal caregivers. The department also sponsors a study abroad program to Mexico in which students become immersed in the culture, take courses and visit various social work sites.

The Master of Social Work program at Valdosta State University prepares students for advanced generalist practice.
