The School of Social Work offers a program leading to the degree of Master of Social Work (MSW). The Mission of the MSW program at Bridgewater State University is to prepare advanced practitioners who will enhance the lives of individuals, families, and communities of Southeastern Massachusetts, address regional needs, and promote social justice.   

The program prepares culturally sensitive advanced professionals who are grounded in strengths-based, biopsychosocial practice models.  Emphasis is placed upon systems across multiple levels, in order to identify what can be done to affect change and strengthen relationships among individuals, families, and communities in order to promote optimal functioning.  The program educates professionals who, grounded in social work's history, purposes, and philosophy, integrate the values of the profession into an ethical approach to all professional activities at an advanced level of knowledge and skill.

The program is available on a Full Time, Part Time, and Advanced Standing basis.  The course descriptions are detailed in the university catalog under the MSW Program Academic Program
