The Boston College School of Social Work (BCSSW) is the school of Boston College that awards degrees in social work, providing experience-based MSW and PhD degree programs. The campus is located in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, near the city of Boston.[4] Currently ranked #10 by U.S. News and World Reports, it is the highest ranked academic program at Boston College and the highest ranked Catholic school of social work in the United States.[3][5][6] Over 8,000 alumni serve as practitioners in social service agencies, policymakers, academics, and researchers throughout the United States and across the globe.[7]

History

Boston College School of Social Work was founded in 1936 by Father Walter McGuinn, S.J.[1] In 1979 the school began offering a Doctor of Social Work degree, which later was changed to a Doctor of Philosophy in Social Work. Originally located at 126 Newbury Street in Boston, the school moved to McGuinn Hall on Boston College's Chestnut Hill campus in 1968.

The Clinical Program intervention method prepares students for a broad range of careers and focuses on direct service to those in need.[11] The Macro: Social Innovation + Leadership Program focuses on training future leaders of the public and social service sectors in the development of new ideas and directions for solving social problems, both creatively and effectively.[12][13]

The choice of concentration and intervention method combined with a five-elective curriculum plan allows students to customize their education to their professional and educational goals.[14]

Boston College School of Social Work offers a Certificates Program within the MSW Program that gives students the opportunity to engage in concentrated study in subject-specific areas of social work practice and expertise, allowing for enhanced skill sets and practice options. Eight certificate options are offered on a space available basis for incoming students starting in Fall 2014 in the areas of Child Welfare; Latino Leadership; Neuroscience & Social Work; Policy & Community Organizing; Refugees & Immigrants; School Social Work; Trauma; and Veterans & Military Families. Certificate course offerings are subject to change each semester.[15]
