Social Work/Social Justice MSW/MA
With today's growing disparities among economically disadvantaged communities, underserved and underrepresented populations, and individuals whose human dignity is under assault by social arrangements and structures, there is an increasing need for results-oriented social work and social justice professionals. The Master of Social Work/MA in Social Justice (MSW/MASJ) dual degree program offers a distinctive graduate degree path to help meet this need.
Program Highlights
As a graduate of the MSW/MA in Social Justice program, you will be prepared to bring positive change to underserved communities in any number of compelling settings, from nonprofit organizations to faith-based educational settings.
The MSW comprises the educational requirements for LSW and LCSW licensure. Students in the dual-degree program gain practical experience through internships at our many partner agencies.
Careers
Because Loyola is a member of the Jesuit network of 27 colleges and universities nationwide, our graduates can access career advising services, resume and interviewing assistance, career fairs and events, and employment listings in our Career Services center, as well as at career centers at other U.S. Jesuit colleges and universities.
Curriculum
The MSW/MA in Social Justice is a 67-credit hour program that integrates coursework from two highly respected Loyola colleges—the School of Social Work and the Institute for Pastoral Studies—with a focus on promoting social justice, engaging in community advocacy, and providing interventions to vulnerable communities.
The MSW program offers the Leadership, Mezzo, and Macro Practice (LMMP) specialization with a track in Leadership, Community, Advocacy, and Policy.
While courses for the Social Work/Social Justice MSW/MA program may vary from semester to semester, Loyola’s extensive Academic Catalog will always house the official listing of courses, programs of study, academic policies, degree requirements, and specialization or concentration options.
Application Process
The Social Work/Social Justice MSW/MA begins in the Fall semester and applications are due by May 1. Applicants are required to submit official transcripts, two references, and two statements of purpose – one for the School of Social Work and one for the Institute of Pastoral Studies.
