After completing Methodist University's social work program, you are well-prepared to empower clients to meet the challenges of modern life. Our program offers a wider variety of courses than most private colleges can offer. Small classes allow for consistent interaction between you and your professors. Placements in public and private social work settings allow students to gain field experience. An internship in your last semester builds your skills as a social worker.
