Walden’s Master of Social Work (MSW) allows graduates to become a voice for those in need. The MSW is designed to address some of the most pressing issues facing society today, and our graduates go on to effect change in individuals, families, communities, and programs.

With four concentrations, the MSW can lead to many paths. Graduates may pursue clinical practice or military social work, or work with children and families or in healthcare settings.
