Master of Social Work

Practice social work at the highest professional level. Choose your unique path, and prepare to use your skills to help individuals, families, and small groups. As a Master of Social Work (MSW) student, you’ll master the foundations and gain practical experience in your specific area of interest through an internship. With a code of ethics and Christian values as your guide, you’ll learn to promote diversity, human and universal rights, and social and economic justice for populations at risk. All while attending classes one night each week!

The MSW at Spring Arbor University (SAU) is one of 10 Michigan accredited programs by the Council on Social Work Education. If you’ve already earned an accredited Bachelor of Social work, you may qualify for our one-year, specialized program.

A Spring Arbor University (SAU) education is relational, deep, and rewarding. And it’s an education with a life-changing difference — Jesus Christ at the center of it all. Here, your studies won’t only earn you a degree. They’ll equip you with a mission. One that brings the light of Christ into our jobs, relationships, and communities.

At SAU, we bring the light of Christ into everything we do. Our tight-knit campus community fosters spiritual, intellectual, whole-person transformation within our students, staff, and faculty. What does a liberal arts education provide? Critical thinking skills. Problem-solving abilities. A wide base of knowledge. Expression and reason. It’s an education SAU raises to a higher level by focusing on Christ as the learning perspective.
