Degree and Minor P rograms

The USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work offers various degree programs that lead to a Master of Social Work (MSW), Doctorate of Social Work (DSW), Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Social Work, and Master of Science in Nursing (MSN)  as well as a number of graduate certificates. The school also offers an undergraduate Social Work and Juvenile Justice Minor.

Master of Social Work (MSW)

The Master of Social Work degree requires 42-60 semester units of course work. The program of study leads to the Master of Social Work (MSW) degree with a specialization in an area of advanced practice. Course requirements are organized into a generalist curriculum and a specialized practice curriculum. The generalist curriculum provides students with knowledge, values, skills, and cognitive and affective processes that prepare them for professional practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities. The specialized practice curriculum involves integration of social work knowledge, values, skills, and cognitive and affective processes and demonstrated ability to engage, assess, intervene and evaluate across or within client populations, problems areas, and methods of intervention. Areas of specialization available to students include Adult Mental Health and Wellness; Children, Youth and Families; Military Social Work and Veteran Services; School Social Work; or Social Change and Innovation. 

Adult Mental Health and Wellness (AMHW)

This curriculum prepares students to address the health and well-being of younger and older adults within families, agencies, institutions, communities, and other environments, and to eliminate disparities. Course work focuses on mental health and substance use, integrated primary and behavioral health care, wellness and recovery, promotion of healthy aging, social welfare policy, and program and policy evaluation and analysis. 

Children, Youth and Families (CYF)

This curriculum prepares students to address the needs of vulnerable children, youth, and families from the earliest years of childhood through adolescence and the transition to adulthood. Course work focuses on promoting wellness and preventing trauma, as well as which kinds of service programs are showing the best results for families with different makeups from a variety of racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. Students are trained to serve families in a variety of service settings, including health, mental health, early education, schools, child welfare and juvenile justice.

Military Social Work and Veteran Services

This curriculum targeting military personnel, spouses and other military dependents and military retirees who wish to maintain a post-military career affiliation with the armed forces; military veterans who wish to provide professional services to their military comrades; and civilian personnel who are committed to assisting military personnel, their families, and military veterans with adapting, coping, and managing the stresses and strains of military life and post-military life. The curriculum offers courses focusing on the needs of military personnel, veterans and their families. 

School Social Work

The school social work curriculum prepares students to practice in TK-12th grade settings across micro, mezzo and macro levels. Students learn about development as well as theoretical concepts related to working with children and adolescents in educational settings. They also learn various roles a social worker encompasses in the school setting to include leadership and system wide intervention. Course work additionally focuses on mental health service delivery and practice to include awareness of trauma informed schools, social and emotional learning, and polices that impact educational systems locally and nationally. Students have opportunities through practicum education to apply these concepts in school settings .

Social Change and Innovation (SCI)

This curriculum prepares students to lead bold, large-scale solutions to social problems and drive positive change in organizations, businesses, and government agencies. Course work focuses on community organization, organizational planning and development, workplace interventions, and advocacy. 

Practicum Education

Practicum education is the signature pedagogy for social work. Practicum education typically takes place over four semesters through a combination of community-based placement, classroom instruction, and training with simulated clients. The school works closely with thousands of community agencies, organizations, businesses and other practicum partners to ensure students receive valuable hands-on practice experience and training that complements their classroom learning. Depending on the program selected, students generally complete a minimum of either 1,000 or 1,300 practicum hours in order to be awarded the Master of Social Work degree. Students usually spend 16-24 hours/week in practicum placement and two hours weekly/biweekly in the classroom seminar. During their time in “practicum,” students are trained to apply three evidence-based interventions: motivational interviewing, problem-solving therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. 

Community-based placement occurs in selected agencies and centers representing a broad range of social services. Placements are approved on the basis of the quality of their professional practice, commitment to social justice and to addressing social work problems, interest in participating in professional education, and ability to make personnel and other resources available. Practicum instructors, MSWs who are employed by either the agency or the school, are responsible for teaching students in their practicum placements. 

Each placement in practicum education is made on an individual basis, taking into consideration the following: geographic location, previous experiences, future goals, professional interests, special needs and stipend requirements. Students are responsible for transportation to their practicum placements and are encouraged to have access to a car. 

Doctorate of Social Work (DSW) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Social Work

The doctorate of social work.

The Doctorate of Social Work (DSW) is a fully online program that offers an advanced practice doctorate in social change and innovation for agency and community leaders and entrepreneurs. Standard Track: nine semesters (36 months). Prospective DSW students must hold a master’s degree. This may include an MSW from a Council on Social Work Education (CSWE)–accredited program, any master’s degree from a regionally accredited program or any professional doctorate.

The PhD in Social Work

The PhD program prepares academics and scientists focused on the discovery of new knowledge through research. PhD candidates are interested in a career in academia, teaching or other research-intensive environments. A PhD program is centered around pursuing an original research project that culminates in a dissertation based on the original research and contribution to social work theory. The PhD program is located at the University Park Campus in Los Angeles and is full time. It requires a minimum of 45 units beyond the master’s degree and successful completion of written and oral qualifying exams and the doctoral dissertation. It typically takes four to five years to complete the doctoral program. Candidates must have a master’s degree in social work or a related program, excellent undergraduate and graduate academic records and participation in independent research. International applicants must also have a satisfactory score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).

Master of Science in Nursing (MSN)

The hybrid Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) is a 50-credit hour program. The Family Nurse Practitioner program prepares bachelor’s-level registered nurses to treat patients across the life span in primary care settings. The program is delivered primarily in a virtual face-to-face setting and is available to nurses across the country. It also features a virtual campus that facilitates an engaging online learning experience. Students attend live classes that are kept small to encourage collaboration and connection with peers and faculty. Students apply what they learn in class during in-person clinical placements and feature two on-campus intensives (OCI) providing students with opportunities for hands-on learning and patient. Clinical placement coordinators work with students to find placements in or near their own communities. The program can be completed in 21 to 33 months, depending on whether you attend as a full-time (five semesters) or part-time (eight semesters) student. Candidates must have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) or Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from an accredited college or university. Admissions requirements include a minimum 3.0 grade point average in the student’s BSN program, a U.S. license as a registered nurse (RN) and residence within the United States upon application, throughout the duration of the program and for one year of clinical experience.

The MAS equips students with a solid foundation and prepares them to enter a number of fields, from treatment to recovery and research to policy work, representing critical areas of support among diverse communities in need.
