What is an MSW?

MSWs are professionals who hold a Master of Social Work degree. They are trained to provide counseling, advocacy, and support to individuals, families, and communities facing various challenges such as mental health issues, poverty, addiction, or trauma. MSWs can work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, schools, government agencies, and private practices. Their work often involves assessing client needs, developing intervention plans, and connecting clients to community resources.

What are some common challenges MSWs face when working with diverse client populations?

MSWs often work with clients from various cultural, socioeconomic, and age backgrounds, which can present challenges such as language barriers, differing cultural norms, and varying expectations around social services. Building trust and rapport with clients requires cultural competence and sensitivity to each individual's experiences. Additionally, MSWs may encounter systemic barriers that affect their clients, such as limited access to resources or support services, requiring strong advocacy and problem-solving skills. Ongoing professional development and peer support can help MSWs navigate these complexities effectively.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an MSW, and why are they important?

To thrive as an MSW, you need a master's degree in social work, knowledge of social welfare policy, and strong clinical assessment skills. Familiarity with case management software, electronic health records, and state licensure or certifications like LCSW are typically required. Outstanding interpersonal communication, cultural competence, and emotional resilience are crucial soft skills for building trust and supporting diverse clients. These qualifications enable MSWs to deliver ethical, effective interventions and advocate for positive outcomes in challenging social environments.

What can someone do with a Master of Social Work?

A Master of Social Work (MSW) prepares individuals for clinical and non-clinical roles in social services, healthcare, mental health, and community organizations. MSW graduates can work as licensed clinical social workers, case managers, school social workers, or policy advocates, often requiring licensure or certification depending on the role and location.

Our programs are staffed by 16 full time faculty, more than 15 part time faculty, three field education specialists and two administrators. Our programs are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education.
Bridgewater State University is an inclusive community dedicated to the lifelong success of all students; focused on the continuous improvement of its people; and is responsible for leading innovation that benefits Southeastern Massachusetts, the commonwealth, and the world.

Each cohort of about 20 students goes through the MSW program in three years, part-time together in each class. Internships typically take place during daytime and weekday hours. Classes are held on Saturdays between 8:30 and 4 PM, and the program is hybrid, so presence on campus is not required every Saturday. This is not an online program.

  • Develop and maintain a classroom environment conducive to effective learning. Encourage student success to all students regardless of race.

Specific course offerings include:
  • Teaching up to 11 credits per semester as assigned by the School of Social Work chairperson.

Required Qualifications
Required qualifications are:
1. A master's degree in social work or a related field
2. At least 2 yrs post MSW experience
3. Ability to use technology effectively in online and in-person teaching, and learning designed to meet the educational, culturally relevant, and emotional needs of our students.

1. MSW degree and LICSW
2. Teaching experience in a BSW or MSW program
