A TRADITION OF SOCIAL WORK
Consistently ranked among the nation's foremost graduate schools of social work, MSASS counts among its alumni many prominent educators, government officials, accomplished practitioners, researchers, and chief executives of national and regional agencies. Faculty achievements in professional organizations, research, and agency consultation further extend the school's reputation as an active participant in the advancement of social work practice.
MSASS believes that advanced practitioners are strategists of change, able to mobilize all the resources of the environment on behalf of their clients. To this end, MSASS remains firmly committed to leadership in advocacy, practice development, and community self-help.
MSASS is a place dedicated to understanding problems in order to solve problems. The school's dual mission combines leadership in knowledge building with leadership in community service and development. Both goals receive equal emphasis in our educational programs. MSASS offers a course of study leading to the Master of Science in Social Administration degree (M.S.S.A.), an advanced program for the Doctor of Philosophy in social welfare, several joint programs, and continuing education for professionals. The Master of Science in Social Administration (M.S.S.A.) is a social work master's degree, accredited by the Council on Social Work Education.
Master's students pursue their degree through a variety of study options, including a traditional two-year course of full-time study, individualized part-time programs, and specialized study options for employed social workers.
Since its founding in 1916 as one of the nation's first university-affiliated schools of social work, MSASS has been an innovator in professional education. The school's long-standing dedication to community action has brought more than 300 organizations into a field education program of unusual scope. In every type of local and regional organization, students develop skills in direct practice, research, management, fund raising and community development.
Continuing interests in international social work, policy analysis and occupational social work add breadth to a curriculum designed to offer students every opportunity for individualized and interdisciplinary study.
The Mandel Center for Nonprofit Organizations, headquartered at MSASS, offers advanced education in management and governance for leaders from every type of service organization throughout the United States. Its programs combine the perspectives of social science, law, and management for master's students and Ph.D. fellows wishing to puruse careers in the nonprofit sector.
An MSASS education is more than preparation. It is an opportunity to join a national network of scholars and practitioners who are shaping the course of social work in communities throughout the United States.
