Master en Travail Social | MSW

The MSW program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). The Master of Social Work Program at Anna Maria College is an Advanced Generalist practice model grounded in the liberal arts and the person-in-environment framework. To promote human and social well-being, advanced generalist practitioners use a range of prevention and intervention methods in their practice with diverse individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities based on scientific inquiry and best practices. Advanced Generalist practitioners engage diversity in their practice and advocate for human rights and social and economic justice. They recognize, support, and build on the strengths and resiliency of all human beings. They engage in research-informed practice and are proactive in responding to the impact of context on professional practice.

The mission of the MSW program at Anna Maria College is as follows:

To prepare graduate social work students for advanced generalist practice with diverse populations. Rooted in the vision of the Sisters of Saint Anne and the professional social work tradition, the MSW program seeks to educate and train students to become skilled advocates and agents of social change who, through ethical practice, will advance the opportunities, resources, and capacities of individuals and communities both locally and globally.
