We offer two concentrations in the Masters program—Global and Community Practice and Clinical Practice with Families and Children.

●     Global and Community Practice encompasses macro and mezzo dimensions of social work practice in communities; this specialization is referred to as a form of macro social work practice. The curriculum provides the practice skills, knowledge, and experience necessary for practice emphasizing the interconnectedness of local and global communities such as advocacy, community organizing, program planning and development, and administrative leadership.

●     The Clinical Practice with Families and Children concentration addresses family- and child-focused concerns across a level of need spectrum from poverty and homelessness to communication and interpersonal counseling.
