Book Chat - Master of Social Work Programs
New Book at Career Services (Most books are available to be checked out overnight or over the weekend!) Council on Social Work Education. *Summary Information On Master of Social Work Programs.* 2003-2004. Thinking of going on into a graduate program in Sociology? This book was recommended to Career Services by one of our very own professors on campus, Richard Tsujimoto. He considers this book to be an invaluable resource from a highly trustworthy organization, The Council on Social Work Education. Essentially, this book contains summary information on master of social work programs. It gives practical information on more than 100 graduate programs in social work: degrees (master’s and doctorates), concentrations (clinical, gerontology, families, etc), application deadlines, tuition costs, etc. Though the date on it, 2003-2004 may not sound current, it is still the only edition available and again comes from a highly qualified source so we’re sure it’s useful even for today’s market in graduate sociology. It’s brand new in our library this month so come and check it out.
