Master of Social Work
About Master of Social Work
The Master of Social Work (MSW) program at PLU will prepare you to become a skilled, ethical, professional service-oriented leader and change agent, committed to advocate for social and economic justice and equality for individuals, families and communities.
Our MSW has an emphasis on healthcare and behavioral health, with significant content on anti-racist practices, diversity, equity and inclusion. The program will be accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, which allows you to pursue licensure in Washington state.
We offer two pathways to enter and complete our Masters in Social Work program – the Advanced Standing option is a 14-month program for students who have a Bachelor’s degree or Social Work major from an accredited program, while Regular Standing is a 24-month program for students who have a Bachelor’s degree in something other than Social Work.
