专业概况

在这里学什么？

Wichita State’s Master of Social Work (MSW) is a fully accredited program, with an emphasis in advanced generalist practice, designed to help you advance your career or enter the social work profession at an advanced professional level. The program combines quality classroom instruction and applied learning in community and state agencies throughout Kansas’ largest city.

Curriculum

The School of Social Work offers a regular program of study for applicants not having a baccalaureate degree in social work. In addition to the regular program, the School of Social Work offers an advanced standing program. Advanced standing applicants have already earned an undergraduate degree in social work from an accredited Council on Social Work program. Because of this, students given advanced standing complete fewer credit hours to earn the MSW than students without advanced standing.

The regular MSW program consists of 63 credit hours, including 47 credit hours of classroom work and 16 credit hours of supervised practicum.

The advanced standing program consists of 37 credit hours, including 29 credit hours of classroom work and eight credit hours of supervised practicum.

Field Practicum Requirements

Students enrolled in the regular MSW program (63 credit hours) will be required to complete a total of 1180 agency-based clock hours in Field Practicum placement during their course of study. For their foundation year practicum, 240 hours per semester or 480 total hours of field experience are required; for the advanced generalist year practicum, 350 hours per semester or 700 total hours are required. Students enrolled in the Advanced Generalist Practicum will complete 350 agency-based clock hours per semester or 700 total hours. Admission to social work practice and practicum classes is absolutely restricted to social work students who have been formally admitted to Foundation or Advanced Generalist Practicum.

Thesis Option

Students are not required to complete a thesis, but do have the option of completing a thesis as part of their MSW degree. The thesis option requires a total of 3 credit hours of thesis coursework (SCWK 800). Students must be enrolled in at least 1 credit hour of thesis during the semester of graduation. Thesis hours can count toward the required 9 credit hours of electives. Students who are interested in the thesis option should discuss their interest with the MSW program director prior to enrolling in the advanced (800-level or higher) curriculum.

Careers

A graduate degree in social work from Wichita State opens doors to high-demand careers in a wide range of settings, from mental health clinics and schools to community development corporations and hospitals.
