Dual Degree - Master of Social Work (MSW) and Master of Science in Organizational Leadership/ 78 credits
The dual MSW/MS in Organizational Leadership degree offers the student interested in human service administration careers a unique opportunity. Students will develop justice-based social work competence as well as the organizational leadership skills and general orientation to human services that are necessary to perform as a leader in the human services sector. Dual degree graduates are well positioned to become administrators and policy leaders in organizations that deliver social services.
Students will complete all requirements for the MSW program which is designed to educate a diverse group of students who are committed to effecting change in the social conditions of diverse, oppressed and disadvantaged groups. Toward this goal, students will be prepared for advanced social work practice with a series of required and elective courses that will provide them with knowledge, skills and values that reflect strengths-based and empowerment approaches that are family-centered, community-based and interprofessional, and are directed toward change at the individual, family, community and system level. The program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. Students will attain an appropriate level of mastery of the Core Competencies and Practice Behaviors identified in the Educational Policy and Standards set out by this accrediting agency.
Students will also complete all requirements for the Master of Science degree in Organizational Leadership, preparing them to take on administrative, executive and leadership positions. Through a series of required courses and advanced electives, students gain the knowledge, skills and values necessary to assume leadership roles. Students will learn to build effective multicultural organizations, where the talents and contributions of individuals from diverse backgrounds are recognized, respected, and valued.
Students complete the MSW degree in its entirety and are eligible for social work licensure enabling them to work as a social worker while they complete the final part-time year of Organizational Leadership courses. Students enrolled in the ORL Certificate and the ORL Master’s Program are waived from SWK 610 Leadership and Administration.
There are three program options. Students can enroll in the Dual Degree program as full-time, part-time or Advanced-Standing MSW students.
