School Social Work
The School of Social Work MSW curriculum is focused on preparation for clinical practice and research with families and children.
The Social Work graduate program and curriculum are designed and developed around the recognition that the Master of Social Work degree is the terminal degree for practice in Social Work and represents preparation for effective social work practice. Therefore, the primary goal of BYU’s MSW program is to help students develop, integrate, and demonstrate their ability to apply knowledge, values, skills and cognitive and affective processes essential to providing a wide range of social services. Specific to this goal is competence in clinical social work and research.
