Boston University School of Social Work
The Boston University School of Social Work (SSW) is one of the sixteen graduate schools of Boston University.[1] U.S. News & World Report has routinely ranked it among the top schools for social work in the United States.[2][3][4]
Areas of study[edit]
BUSSW offers full and part-time programs leading to the Master of Social Work degree, with majors in Clinical and Macro Social Work Practice. Advanced Standing programs are also available.[5]
The full-time study program includes two years of full-time study at Boston University's central Charles River campus. There are several part-time study programs, including an online program. Typically part-time students fulfill the degree requirements in either three or four years. Part-time students can attend the Charles River campus, one of four off-campus programs, or the online program. The satellite campuses are located in Bedford, Massachusetts, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Fall River, Massachusetts, and Worcester, Massachusetts, which offers an in-person/online hybrid program.
The School of Theology, the School of Education, and the School of Public Health have dual-degree programs with the School of Social Work.
History[edit]
The School had its beginnings in the School of Education and was later called the School of Religious and Social Work.
In 1937 the Division of Social Work inaugurated a two-year graduate program. In 1939 it was accredited provisionally as a school of social work, and in 1940 became a separate entity as the School of Social Work. Since 1942 it has offered only the graduate program, and since 1943 it has had full accreditation as a school of social work.
Accreditation[edit]
The School is fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education and is authorized to award master's degrees in Social Work.[6]
