Regina Ho, a student in the nurse social work practitioner program, works part-time at Jewish Family Services, contributing to the Family Violence Project as part of her field internship requirement. The nurse social work practitioner option prepares nurses for a new area of specialty practice, helping them develop skills in case intervention, advocacy, information technology and social policy. Graduates of the program earn a Master of Social Work degree and a case management certificate. |
The USC School of Social Work offers programs of study leading to the Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in social work. These programs provide the student a broad background of knowledge about health and welfare problems, the meaning of programs past and present that have been established to meet them, and current issues and policy trends in the field.
At the same time, the student is helped to become a professional person through development of a philosophy in harmony with that of the profession: to prevent and mitigate severe social problems that challenge the viability of culturally diverse and complex urban settings; to build on the strengths of individuals, families and communities; and to lead the scholarly search for innovative, efficacious and just solutions.
