Master of Social Work

Grounded in the ethics and values of the social work profession, the mission of Salisbury University’s Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) program is to inspire and educate competent and culturally responsive social work professionals to be prepared for advanced direct practice with individuals, families, groups, and organizations in local, regional, national and global arenas.

SU offers one of the most affordable online M.S.W. options in Maryland. We also have options at four convenient satellite locations across Maryland. Courses in the satellite locations are “hybrid,” meaning they use the latest technology to combine conventional face-to-face presentations with fully interactive live video and online instruction from SU’s faculty. The M.S.W. program is designed with the working student in mind by offering evening and summer courses, so you can complete your degree on your own schedule.

Salisbury University is a premier comprehensive Maryland public university offering excellent, affordable education in undergraduate liberal arts, sciences, business, nursing, health sciences, social work, and education and applied masters and doctoral programs. Our highest purpose is to empower our students with the knowledge, skills, and core values that contribute to active citizenship, gainful employment, and life-long learning in a democratic society and interdependent world.

Salisbury University cultivates and sustains a superior learning community where students, faculty, and staff are viewed as learners, teachers/scholars, and facilitators, and where a commitment to excellence and openness to a broad array of ideas and perspectives are central to all aspects of University life. Our learning community is student-centered. Students learn from professional educators in small classroom settings, faculty and professional staff serve as academic advisors, and virtually every student has an opportunity to undertake research or experiential learning with a faculty mentor. Through our four privately endowed Schools, the College of Health and Human Services, and the Honors College, we foster an environment where individuals prepare for career and life, including their social, physical, occupational, emotional, and intellectual well-being.
