Overview

The MSW Social Work degree from Elms College helps students harness their intellectual energies and build the expertise needed to improve social conditions at all levels, whether that involves counseling individual clients and diagnosing mental, behavioral, or emotional issues, or advocating for programs and policies within the community.

Graduates of the MSW program will receive their degree from SLU, whose School of Social Work is continually ranked as one of the best in the nation.

The MSW program is highly-flexible and tailored to different types of social work. Students can choose to specialize in the clinical track or the community and organization track. Courses can be taken on a full-time or part-time basis, and students who already have their bachelor’s degree in social work can accelerate their studies in the advanced standing program. Students without a bachelor’s degree in social work enter the foundation program.

Career

Students are encouraged to make use of academic and career services at both institutions. In addition to on-campus resources at Elms, students can virtually connect with SLU’s graduate student services, which include writing assistance, tutoring and counseling services, and career advising.
