Students are required to select a concentration in the Advanced Curriculum. Concentrations available are Clinical and Leadership, Policy and Social Change. Each concentration has specific course requirements in addition to those required in the specialization. 

    Clinical

    The Clinical Concentration provides education and practicum experiences that prepare graduates for the rapidly changing world of practice. Clinical social workers are licensed to provide a range of therapeutic services to children, adolescents, adults, and their families across multiple settings including schools, hospitals, behavioral health organizations, and child welfare agencies.

Secondary Concentration Option

It is also possible to elect a secondary concentration in conjunction with a primary one. A secondary concentration will expose the student to some of the content from the other concentration through study in two courses.

A student interested in this educational plan would satisfy all of the requirements for either the clinical or Macro concentration, including the diversity requirement. The student would also complete two courses from the other concentration. Thirty-six advanced credits are required at a minimum. Students choosing a secondary concentration must develop their plan of study carefully.
