Our Programs #
IU’s multifaceted MSW curriculum is designed to help students master professional practice through foundational knowledge, clinical and community practice, research and evaluation, and specialized focus in mental health and addictions.
Experiential learning sharpens skills, fuels interests #
IU School of Social Work develops and maintains strong relationships with a variety of social work practicum sites within the student’s local community as well as internationally through study abroad partners. These partnerships allow us to offer opportunities with an array of inspiring and challenging learning experiences.
Our placement planning process is collaborative and highly personalized. Our field team works closely with students to match them with a practicum site that meets CSWE accreditation requirements and provides impactful learning experiences.
Two thirds of our alumni work in the region. Not only does this create nice opportunities for networking and mentorships, but it also speaks to our program’s reach in impacting our local community.
