Two courses meet 2 hours each night \u2013 Monday and Thursday \u2013 with 30 minutes of online work weekly. Students enrolled in the full-time program will complete in two years; students enrolled in the part-time program will complete in 3 years.\u00a0 The Advanced Standing Program is a one-year program for students who have graduated from a CSWE-accredited BSW program.\u00a0 1200 hours of field internship are required for the Traditional MSW\u00a0 Program and 600 for the Advanced Standing Program.<\/p>\n<p>Program Mission:<\/p>\n<p>The mission of the Master of Social Work Program is to prepare competent, compassionate and research-informed social work professionals to advocate for social and economic justice and human well-being, while honoring diversity and within the context of the social environment. An emphasis on caring \u00a0human relationships, and freedom from all forms of oppression, while supporting strengths, empowerment, and enhancing quality of life, will be the focus of practice. \u00a0As advanced generalist practitioners, students will become effective leaders through planning and problem solving, multi-system and interdisciplinary collaboration, and excellence in service to individuals, families, groups, communities, and organizations, all from a global perspective. In line with the greater mission of 秘密研究所, the MSW Program will emphasize individual attention to students and promote diversity, inclusiveness, sustainability, student engagement, and community involvement through interdisciplinary and experiential learning, and international and intercultural understanding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Goals:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The goals of the MSW program are derived from the program\u2019s mission as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To prepare competent social work professionals for advanced generalist practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities in an ever-changing and diverse context, locally and internationally.<\/li>\n<li>To educate social workers effectively with the knowledge, values, and skills of the profession at the advanced practice level.<\/li>\n<li>To advance social justice by preparing leaders to effectively advocate for the development of social policies and social service delivery systems that improve the well-being of client systems.<\/li>\n<li>To prepare social workers who are life-long-learners and who will advocate, personally and professionally, for the alleviation and eradication of social problems and the promotion of global social, economic, and environmental sustainability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Preparation of students for advanced generalist practice is based on a person-in-environment perspective that is global and dynamic, respect for human diversity, advocacy for human rights, a strengths perspective, and scientific inquiry. The program\u2019s aim is to equip students for practice in an ever-changing world fraught with infinite variation and persistent obstacles to justice. Excellent advanced generalist practice results from understanding and acknowledging the transitory nature of human interaction and the incremental development of services necessary to respond with a client-centered approach, whether that client is an individual, family, group, community, or organization.<\/p>\n<p>The central means to accomplish the MSW program\u2019s mission and goals is through an integrated learning process that values classroom and field learning equally.\u00a0 The classroom integrates on-site learning in agency field internships with knowledge, values, and skills. Field internships are arranged through the Social Work Office of Field Education. Each student completes 600 hours of field internship per year in qualified agencies under qualified field instructors to graduate.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\"><span class=\"fa-stack\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-up fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span>Outcomes for the Program<\/div><div class=\"c_content\">\n<p><strong>Goal 1:<\/strong> To educate social workers effectively with the knowledge, values and skills of the profession at the advanced practice level.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Outcome 1:<\/span> Demonstrate ethical and professional behavior.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Outcome 2:\u00a0<\/span> Engage in diversity and difference in practice<strong>.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Goal 2<\/strong>: To prepare social workers who are life-long learners and who will advocate, personally and professionally, for the alleviation and eradication of social problems and the promotion of global, social, economic, and environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Outcome 1:<\/span> Advance human rights and social, economic, and environmental justice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Goal 3: <\/strong>To advance social justice by preparing leaders to effectively advocate for the development of social policies and social service delivery systems that improve the wellbeing of client systems.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Outcome 1<\/span>: Engage in policy practice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Goal 4:<\/strong> To prepare competent social work professionals for advanced generalist practice with<br \/>\nindividuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities in an ever-changing and diverse context, locally and internationally.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Outcome 1<\/span>: Engage in practice-informed research and research-informed practice.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Outcome 2<\/span>: Engage with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Outcome 3:<\/span> Assess individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Outcome 4:<\/span>\u00a0Intervene with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Outcome 5<\/span>: Evaluate practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\"><span class=\"fa-stack\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-up fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span>Requirements of the MSW Program<\/div><div class=\"c_content\">\n<ol>\n<li>The MSW Degree requires 64 credit hours to complete.\u00a0 The Foundation Year is offered in the Fall requiring 32 credits and 600 field hours for completion.\u00a0 The Second Year requires 32 credits and 600 field hours for completion.\u00a0 Course requirements include 9 credits of electives, including a cluster that prepares you for the License in Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counseling (LCADC) in the State of New Jersey.<\/li>\n<li>To remain in good academic standing, students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"courseTable\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"majorTableHeading\">Subject &amp; Course # &#8211; Title &amp; Course Description<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"courseTable\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>FALL SEMESTER &#8211; FOUNDATION YEAR ONE<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a id=\"6a29063235302\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.ramapo.edu\/courses\/MSWK501\" target=\"_blank\">MSWK 501 -
