Mission Statement
The faculty in UVU’s Master of Social Work (MSW) program empower students to embrace challenges and realize their potential to create effective, positive, and sustainable change. UVU’s MSW program prepares students to utilize the planned change model (engagement, assessment, goal setting/contracting, intervention, evaluation, and transition/ending) to improve the well-being of individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities in a variety of settings. With a prominence of mental health, substance-use-disorder and addiction-related coursework, students will engage in strengths-based, research-informed social work practice emphasizing the intersection of people within their environments. The MSW develops an understanding of the ways laws, policies, and culture impact individual and familial access to equitable opportunity and services.
Successful graduates, including academic coursework and supervised practice, will be eligible for employment in diverse settings (mental health therapy, medical social work, school social work, child welfare, etc.) and licensure as a Certified Social Worker (CSW) in the state of Utah. The CSW license is a precursor to obtaining the Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) license in Utah.
