Master of Social Work programs in U.S.
Are you passionate about social justice? Do you dream of empowering at-risk individuals and families? Do you see yourself as a leader or in a teaching role?
Bridgewater State University’s School of Social Work offers the largest bachelor’s in social work program in Massachusetts along with a popular master’s in social work program — both of which are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. With a curriculum grounded in service learning, BSU’s social work programs offer intensive fieldwork and mentoring by our accomplished faculty.
Prepare for a meaningful career as change maker through undergraduate and graduate social work programs that feature:

- Devoted faculty. Learn from BSU’s diverse faculty, who have extensive teaching and field experience. They boast expertise in areas such as aging and immigration, coordination of care and mental health.
