Masters of Social Work Mission StatementThe mission of the MSW Program is to prepare students in advanced social work practice for leadership roles in the effort to solve, in partnerships with others, the existing and developing challenges that confront communities in the United States and internationally. Assessment Plan for Masters of Social Work ProgramThe Masters of Social Work consists of two integrated curriculum components, Foundation and Concentration. By accreditation standard, the Foundation is comparable for the both the Bachelors and Masters of Social Work. The learning outcomes are essentially the same (See BSW Learning Outcomes above) and are built upon liberal arts base. While the BSW Foundation learning outcomes prepare graduates for generalist social work practice, the MSW Foundation learning outcomes provide students with a generalist social work practice perspective to develop advanced social work practice knowledge and skills in Community Partnerships. The objectives listed below are consistent with the Commission on Accreditation of the Council on Social Work Education’s learning objectives for educating students for advanced social work practice beginning with Foundation Objectives and concluding with specific objectives to the Concentration in Community Partnerships. MSW Learning ObjectivesThe objectives of the MSW program are designed to be consistent with the mission and goals of the MSW program, Council on Social Work Education, Commission on Accreditation Educational Policy, Georgia State University, and the College of Health and Human Sciences.
