The MSW Student Handbook contains important policies and information, helpful links, and other resources to guide you through your time as a graduate student in the WVU School of Social Work.
West Virginia University’s School of Social Work began training social workers in the early 1930’s. We have been in constant operation since that time. Both the Bachelor of Social Work and the Master of Social Work degree programs are fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). A Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) prepares students for generalist practice, and a Master of Social Work (MSW) prepares students for advanced integrated practice with individuals, families, groups, communities, and organizations.
