Social Work MSW at California State University Chico

The School of Social Work offers an undergraduate degree in social work as well as the Master of Social Work which may be completed in a one-year, two-year, or three-year program.  All courses are offered in an on-campus format and also in a distributed learning (DL) format which allows students to largely take courses online with periodic visits to the campus.  All of our programs combine a robust curriculum with practical experience in the field for future social workers wishing to work with children, families, groups, and communities.

The MSW Program’s advanced generalist concentration presents students with a broad-based set of knowledge, skills, and values necessary for multiple levels of advanced social work practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. The major emphases for the concentration year are direct services to individuals, families, and groups; community and organizational practice; policy analysis and practice; and research as practice.
