As a relatively new MSW Program, there may be some programmatic and policy areas that we will add or revise as the implementation of the program continues. We will keep you informed regarding any policy changes, additions, or deletions through postings here and emails to the MSW Program electronic distribution list. A newly revised Handbook will be uploaded as needed.
The Social Work faculty and staff want you to be successful in your academic endeavors and encourage you to seek guidance and clarification if you have questions or concerns regarding the program. You have been assigned an advisor to provide consultation through the MSW Program. We strongly encourage you to work with your advisor to help with academic and professional issues. We wish you great success as a graduate student in our MSW Program.
