PDF reflects print USC School of Social Work
|
In fall 2009, the USC School of Social Work will launch a specialization in military social work and veteran services. This program, the first of its kind at a major research university, will train social workers and other mental health professionals to help the nation's armed forces personnel, military veterans and their families manage the pressures of military life and post-war adjustments. |
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.
