Master of Social Work Program
The new Master of Social Work (MSW) Program at Appalachian State University seeks to educate social workers who can contribute to the growth and success of the profession through skills in advanced clinical practice, leadership and supervision, community development and advocacy, and innovative program planning and administration. Graduates will be qualified to provide advanced social work practice to individuals, families, organizations, and communities.
The MSW Program at Appalachian State University will be housed in the Department of Sociology and Social Work within the College of Arts and Sciences. Appalachian’s graduate programs are a part of the Cratis D. Williams Graduate School, which is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
