Will I have an advisor? How are they assigned?
Yes, you will be assigned an advisor whom you will meet at Fall Orientation. Your advisor will assist you with any changes to your curriculum, curriculum schedule, or field placements; they can also provide career guidance and support as you prepare to graduate. Your advisor can also help connect you to faculty who share your interests. You will also have the opportunity to work with our MSW Program Advising Team over the summer before registering for courses.
Will the Master of Social Work degree at the University of Michigan qualify me for certification and/or licensing for social workers in my state?
Yes, the MSW from Michigan will meet the educational requirement to achieve the first level of licensing or certification available in your state. Typically, you must also pass an examination. Our graduates have an excellent record for passing the exams held throughout the country. To attain the highest level of licensing and certification in most states, social workers must complete post-masters work supervised by a fully licensed or certified social worker and pass an advanced examination.
