Specialization and Certification Programs
The School of Social Work currently offers a number of certificate and specialization options and is constantly developing new opportunities for students to pursue particular interests in defined areas of study. Typically, specialization and certificate programs require students to enroll in selected courses and often include a component of field instruction.
At present, the School of Social Work offers a certificate program in aging, child welfare, global social work, and specializations in social work in the workplace and social work in public schools. Additionally, each year the School offers two courses in each of the following special topics: international social work, child welfare, interpersonal violence, and substance abuse.
