USM School of Social Work - About Us
The School of Social Work at The University of Southern Mississippi is part of the College of Health and has provided quality graduate social work education since 1974. Both the BSW and MSW programs within the School of Social Work are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. Social workers are professionals who graduate from CSWE-accredited institutions and have passed the licensure exam.
The USM School of Social Work develops and transmits social work knowledge and skills consistent with the values of the profession, informed by the culture and history of Mississippi. We are inspired by a vision of social justice and advocacy for the health and well-being of all people. Our graduates engage clients who primarily reside in the increasingly diverse Gulf South to produce dynamic solutions for personal, interpersonal and system problems – especially those unique to the poor, oppressed and underserved.
