Graduate Degrees

Orientation Dates

Baylor's graduate social work education provides what few others in the nation can, an emphasis on working effectively with issues of faith and spirituality and with congregations and faith-based organizations. Within four years of its inception, the Master's of Social Work degree at Baylor School of Social Work was ranked as one of the Top 100 graduate programs by U.S. News and World Report.

The graduate program offers three degree options and two academic concentrations (Children and Families and Physical and Mental Health). These prepare professional social workers who can assess and build on strengths of persons, families and communities.
Three interrelated concepts shape our programs:

• integration of faith and practice
• communities as a focus of practice
• an emphasis on strengths rather than deficits

Graduates of our program are prepared to serve as social work clinicians and counselors, program planners, administrators and community developers within diverse public and private sectors.

The MSW degree fulfills all requirements related to graduate school work education for state licensure and professional social work credentials. The degree program is fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education.

Applications will be accepted until June 1. Admissions will be open until the class is filled. Applications approved after the class is filled will be added to a wait list.
