The MSW program focuses on clinical social work practice, allowing students to acquire a blend of direct practice skills coupled with an understanding and appreciation of human diversity. Our students develop the ability to practice clinically with diverse populations in a wide range of available settings. The program seeks to develop within each of its students the rich intellectual and ethical capacities necessary for skillful and compassionate social work practice (Radford University MSW, 2021). This is based in promoting inclusion, social justice, and cultural humility. Students are asked to use theory and research to inform and evaluate practice. MSW students develop relationship, advocacy, and practice skills to serve individuals locally, nationally, or globally. The MSW mission is consistent across options.
