Master of Social Work (MSW) Admissions

Welcome to the USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work. It is a fascinating time to be a social worker. Never have we needed more educated, principled and resourceful leaders who can anticipate emerging issues and lead social work innovation at the local, national and global levels. And never has their educational preparation been so thorough or crucial.

The Master of Social Work program prepares emerging social workers for a variety of careers through immersive field education experiences, departments of study, and faculty recognized nationally for their research impact.
