The mission of the Master of Social Work program is to prepare compassionate clinical social workers committed to evidenced-based and culturally responsive practice to empower individual and community well-being in pursuit of a more just world.

Specialized Curriculum + Clinical Experience

Due to the workforce needs of graduate-level social workers in our community and beyond, Concordia is launching a Master of Social Work program in 2025.

Our MSW program specializes in preparing clinical social workers to make a profound impact on the lives of individuals, families, and communities. Rooted in our mission to cultivate compassionate professionals committed to evidence-based and culturally responsive practice, our program equips you with the clinical skills needed to address complex mental health and social challenges. Through comprehensive academic training and hands-on clinical experience, we empower future social workers to promote well-being and advocate for a more just world.

The MSW degree is ideal for graduates with a bachelor's degree in human service-related fields such as psychology, sociology, criminal justice, and public health.

Our MSW graduates will be prepared for a clinical social work license that qualifies them as mental health professionals and eligible for insurance and/or grant reimbursement, as well as other funding streams needed in behavioral health services.

Job Outlook

Nationally, demand for mental health professionals — defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as substance abuse, behavioral disorder, and mental health counselors — is expected to grow by 22% from 2021-2031, which is much faster than the 5% average for other areas.

Regionally, demand for behavioral health professionals remains high to meet staffing needs in schools, outpatient clinics, hospitals, primary care, addiction services, residential care, and other settings.

Program Options

Our MSW program offers advanced standing consideration for students who have completed a baccalaureate program in social work and offers a full-program option for students who have not completed a baccalaureate degree in social work. Students in both program options can choose from full- or part-time study.

Foundation Program

Students who have not completed a baccalaureate degree in social work will begin with the foundation program. During the first two semesters (spring and fall), courses will be held in person on campus. The third semester consists of a full-time practicum at a location aligned with your career aspirations. Upon completing the foundation program, you will move to advanced standing, which spans three semesters (summer, fall, and spring).

Advanced Standing

Students who enter with a baccalaureate degree in social work will begin with advanced standing. Courses will be offered in the evening, Monday through Thursday. The program begins with two courses completed during the summer, accompanied by an on-campus orientation (a virtual option will be available if necessary). During the fall and spring semesters, students will enroll in two evening courses and complete a part-time clinical practicum.

Specialization

Our advanced standing program emphasizes clinical mental health. Courses offer rigorous training in evidence-based and culturally responsive practice, preparing you for a wide range of graduate-level careers.
