Welcome to the MSW Program at the University of Georgia

The MSW program at Georgia is fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education and our school is ranked in the top 25% of social work graduate programs nationwide.

We invite motivated and dedicated students who want to work for positive social change to apply to our program. If you are accepted into the MSW program at UGA, you’ll choose from two concentration areas:

Clinical Practice—This concentration will have a clinical focus, and will prepare graduates to work directly with clients.

We offer three ways to earn a MSW:

• Full time program—four-semester program starts each fall
