The Program
The Master of Social Work (MSW) is administered by the School of Social Work in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences at Cleveland State.
The mission of the Master's Degree in Social Work program is to prepare students for specialized, advanced-level, self-critical, accountable and autonomous practice with oppressed, at-risk and vulnerable populations. The program provides a rigorous intellectual base, an opportunity for effective skill development and an educational perspective that views human diversity as desirable and enriching to society. Students are equipped with the knowledge, skills and values appropriate to the social work profession, the conceptual base of professional social work, the broad-based research strategies of the field and the various social work roles and intervention strategies used in social work practice.
