Boston University School of Social Work
The Boston University School of Social Work (SSW) is one of the sixteen graduate schools of Boston University.[1]
Areas of study
BUSSW offers full and part-time programs leading to the Master of Social Work degree, with majors in Clinical and Macro Social Work Practice. Advanced Standing programs are also available.[2]
The full-time study program includes two years of full-time study at Boston University's central Charles River campus. There are several part-time study programs, including an online program. Typically part-time students fulfill the degree requirements in either three or four years. Part-time students can attend the Charles River campus, one of four off-campus programs, or the online program. The satellite campuses are located in Bedford, Massachusetts, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Fall River, Massachusetts, and Worcester, Massachusetts, which offers an in-person/online hybrid program.
The School of Theology, the School of Education, and the School of Public Health have dual-degree programs with the School of Social Work.
The School is the location for The Network for Professional Education and the Center for Aging & Disability Education & Research (CADER) - previously known as the Institute for Geriatric Social Work
History
The School had its beginnings in the School of Education and was later called the School of Religious and Social Work.
In 1937 the Division of Social Work inaugurated a two-year graduate program. In 1939 it was accredited provisionally as a school of social work, and in 1940 became a separate entity as the School of Social Work. Since 1942 it has offered only the graduate program, and since 1943 it has had full accreditation as a school of social work.
Accreditation
The School is fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education and is authorized to award master's degrees in Social Work.[3]
