MSW Program FAQ
The mission of the Master of Social Work (MSW) program at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke is to prepare students for professional, competent social work practice within an Advanced Generalist model. Social workers prepared using advanced generalist models have the capacity to practice in varied settings with diverse client populations. They are equipped to utilize resources available in rural areas and prepared for the challenges of working with indigenous communities. They have an awareness of both historical and contemporary social issues that are embedded in a framework of a larger, more global reality.
