Social Service - Bryn Mawr College

Social Service from Bryn Mawr College is a Campus Master Sociology degree that prepares you for a Human Services career. Building on a foundation of knowledge, analysis and critical reflection, the Bryn Mawr program requires concentrated study in one of three specialized fields. Each concentration consists of a practice seminar and concurrent field instruction taken in the three consecutive semesters following the foundation practice course and field instruction. In addition, students must take three electives, two from among the courses in the ?Intervention Skills? category and one from among the ?Populations, Systems and Policy? category. The Course Guide designates the category to which each elective is assigned. This degree of specialization provides the necessary depth for students to begin professional careers at the Master's level. It also offers students the opportunity to explore a variety of roles now held by social workers, encouraging flexibility and growth in one's career. Social Service Management Social service management prepares graduates for a career combining direct work with clients and managing a service organization. The management sequence assumes a broad base of personal skills and client groups. It puts special emphasis on the skills of supervision, agency management, and systematic treatment of cases handled by an organization. Social service organizations may be public or private, corporate or voluntary, specialized or broad-based in terms of clients served. They may have several internal levels of management or only a single level. Students in this concentration are trained to bring management and service into closer contact. They review agency practices at the point of impact on individual cases and assess the adequacy of treatment plans, evaluation methods and follow-up procedures. Students also learn management skills how to supervise, train and consult colleagues of varying backgrounds and skills and gain an understanding of organizational dynamics, personnel and budget policies, and evaluation research.
