Skill Concentrations
At the time of admission, students are required to designate a skill concentration. Students can choose to concentrate in either Direct Practice with Individuals, Families, and Small Groups (Direct Practice) or Community Organization and Social Administration (COSA).
The two skill concentration curricula build on foundation curriculum content and prepare students for autonomous social work practice at an advanced level. The concentrations expose students to: specific practice roles; the uses and applications of research for practice; practice with and on behalf of the welfare of the poor and oppressed; practice with diverse populations; policy, organizational, and environmental influences on practice; and advanced practice theories, methods, and strategies.
