Social Work - Oakland University

Social Work from Oakland University is a Campus Master Sociology degree that prepares you for a Human Services career. The primary focus of the MSW Program is preparation for foundation and advanced practice in clinical social work (micro-level interventions) and organization and community practice (macro-level interventions). The generalist foundation prepares students for practice through development of the ten core competencies at the beginning or basic level, through course and field experiences that provide the grounding for all professional social work practice, regardless of setting, specialization, or professional role. The curriculum for both the clinical social work and the organization and community practice concentrations includes courses in human behavior in the social environment, social welfare services and policy, research methods, administration, practice methods, field education, and special topics. Both concentrations focus on the same ten core social work competencies, but prepare students for practice in these areas at an advanced level through both courses and field experiences.
