The SSW offers three subspecializations for all students. These are available along with our five specializations. Child Adolescent and Family Health Subspecialization is available within the Health Specialization. Students must complete the Health Specialization for their chosen concentration. Students substitute SOWK 789 "Social Work Research in Child, Adolescent, and Family Health" for their research option and take SWCL 714, "Social Work Practice in Child, Adolescent and Family Health" as an elective. While fulfilling these requirements, students who choose a secondary concentration if primarily Clinical would choose between SOWK 765 or SWCL 712. The would also take SWOA 703 or SWOA 704 and another SWOA option. If they are primarily MACO and secondarily Clinical, they would take SWCL 700 or SWCL 744.
