Program Overview

Professional social workers are uniquely trained to maximize the opportunity for change. Social workers address both the individual and the environment, helping clients and communities cope effectively with external factors and access the resources they need to thrive.

Advance your career and follow your passion for serving others through USD's Master of Social Work (MSW) program. Our curriculum prepares you to serve a variety of populations through policy, practice or research. We take a person-centered approach to social work education, recognizing the importance of understanding people's unique needs, offering personalized support and working toward empowerment. A blend of in-person or online learning and hundreds of hours of hands-on field education ensures you are qualified and ready to take the master-level exam.

You'll graduate poised for roles in clinical and therapeutic services, administration and staff supervision, policy analysis, community development, organizational planning and service to communities in South Dakota and surrounding regions. If you pursue licensure, you can assess, diagnose and treat patients experiencing emotional and psychological issues.

Social Work

Through the Master of Social Work (MSW) program, you'll gain the knowledge, skills and real-world experience you need to become a licensed clinical social worker (CSW). It offers both full-time and part-time tracks - a 60 credit hour program for those with a bachelor's degree in a field other than social work, and a 36 credit hour curriculum for those who hold a bachelor's degree in social work from a CSWE accredited program.
