The Master of Social Work degree at University of Kansas prepares graduates for advanced social work practice in 1 of 2 broad areas — clinical social work practice with individuals, families, and groups or macro aimed at macro-level practice. The first level of the master’s curriculum is a generalist foundation required of all students. The foundation consists of six classroom courses and a two-semester practicum that reflects the generalist intent.
Learning outcomes
At the advanced level, M.S.W. students choose a concentration in clinical social work practice with a focus in a particular field of practice - child and family, health/mental health, aging - or social work administrative and advocacy practice. The advanced level practicum implements the student's choice of concentration.
Full-time students complete the social work degree program in two years. Students admitted for part-time study may extend the program for up to four years (see Completion Plans). The regular M.S.W. part-time and full-time programs are offered on both the main KU campus in Lawrence or at the Edwards Campus in Overland Park, KS. The regular M.S.W. full-time program is also offered through the Western Kansas M.S.W Program on either the Fort Hays State University campus in Hays, KS or the Garden City Community College Campus in Garden City, KS in 2016.
