The Department of Social Work at Minnesota State Mankato offers a Master of Social Work program focusing on Advanced Generalist social work practice, including concentration year emphasis on practice in small and rural communities. The MSW program prepares students for both advanced direct practice and administration. Students achieve program objectives through foundation and concentration coursework, extensive field work, and a capstone research project. Students will learn from faculty dedicated to high quality social work education using innovative teaching techniques and cutting edge technologies.
The program is seeking accreditation from the Council on Social Work Education. Upon accreditation, students completing the program will be eligible to apply for social work licensure in Minnesota, which is required for practice social work in most settings. (See the page on Accreditation and Licensure for more information about this.)
