Graduate Education
Our social work
alumni are also well-prepared for graduate study.
Many of our alumni go on to a Master of Social Work
program, often gaining advanced standing in those
programs. A master of social work degree is required
for clinical social work practice, some
administrative positions, and college-level teaching. A PhD in Social Work is
increasingly required for college-level teaching. Other
graduate program possibilities for our alumni include
law school or programs in sociology,
psychology, counseling,
education, political science, economics, non-profit or public administration, or other
service-oriented professions and the social sciences.
