Social Work Master's Students
Admissions to the Master's Program
The SSA Master of Arts program prepares students to become leaders in the field of social work. It does this by providing a sophisticated understanding of individual distress in social context, teaching students that effective helping requires a similarly broad understanding of possible responses. The program also challenges students to view their own work critically. Social welfare professionals must act within the web of relationships that link individual well-being with larger social and political forces to achieve social and economic justice. The SSA program is particularly strong in exploring the interconnected nature of micro-, mezzo- and macro-level social work.
In addition to acquiring and applying theoretical perspectives and empirical knowledge, students learn how to practice among diverse populations at all levels of social intervention: individual, family, program, organization, community, and policy. SSA teaches social work values and standards of ethical behavior, and expects students to be committed to improving the lives of vulnerable populations and to promoting social and economic justice.
