Concentrations

Concentrations build on, are related to, and extend the professional foundation. A concentration focuses on advanced methods of social work practice by size and type of client system. Concentrations are designed to develop greater depth in knowledge and skills building upon the generalist foundation. Students may concentrate in:

  • Clinical Social Work
  • Management and Policy  (formerly Nonprofit and Public Management)

Students must select a concentration prior to entering the advanced curriculum. Both concentrations require two advanced practice methods courses (6 credits) and a minimum of 6 credits of advanced field instruction.
