Social work: Making a difference in peoples' lives and communities.
As a student, you will be prepared to work in a variety of settings, including child welfare, mental health, criminal and juvenile justice, gerontology, domestic violence, health care, community development, policy practice, and research. If you are concerned with matters of social justice and want to make a difference in peoples' lives and your communities, we invite you to consider the social work profession as a rewarding and valuable career.
The Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) program at UNLV prepares students for professional social work careers in the areas of trauma-informed and direct practice with individuals, families, and groups, as well as in management and community practice. The trauma-informed practice concentration focuses on clinical skills specific to addressing the effects of trauma, as well as mezzo and macro service changes to enhance the trauma-informed perspective.
