Information about our Master of Social Work Program.
UW Oshkosh and UW-Green Bay Collaborative MSW Program
The Collaborative MSW Program became a reality in Fall 2003 with the admission of the first class of students. A joint venture of the UW-Green Bay and UW Oshkosh Departments of Social Work, the Collaborative MSW Program prepares social workers for leadership in careers of Direct Practice or Administration/Management.
The Collaborative MSW Program is fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). As a result of extensive faculty planning, market research studies, and feedback from consultant outside reviewers, the Program's Mission was developed. The mission statement embodies six major program themes, which permeate content in the advanced concentrations in (1) advanced direct practice and (2) administration and management. This mission reflects the unique needs of social work practitioners and clients in the region, the broad mission of the social work profession, and the academic standards for graduate education established by CSWE. Development of the program's mission was also strongly influenced by the UW System Cluster Core Mission with respect to interinstitutional collaboration as an effective means for sharing of resources and educational outreach. It was further influenced by CSWE support for collaborative education.*
