Key features

Merrimack College’s Social Work graduate program creates and provides students with transformative learning experiences in and out of the classroom that positively impact children, youth, families and the greater society.

You will engage in 900 hours of hands-on practical experience in a local school, community agency, nonprofit, health or mental health center, or another relevant social service-type agency or institution.

Merrimack’s MSW program focuses on access, equality, social and economic justice, as well as ethical and reflective practices. Our program produces leaders who demonstrate the knowledge and skills of advanced direct social work practice.

Upon graduation, you’ll be well equipped to respond to the need for services that promote social, economic and political justice for all groups, especially those confronting discrimination and oppression.
