Applications for the inaugural program are currently being accepted. The first cohort is scheduled for this fall. "Lourdes and Saint Louis University have partnered to offer a MSW that aligns with the Franciscan and Jesuit mission of serving humankind with compassion. The program also allows professionals in this region to pursue their degree at a private accredited institution," says Lourdes Social Work Chair, Terry Keller, A.B.D., M.S.W., M.B.A., L.M.S.W., A.C.S.W. The MSW program has two tracks - one for graduates of an accredited bachelor's degree program in social work and one for those who have achieved their bachelor's degree in other disciplines. "St. Louis University is pleased to join Lourdes in offering the MSW to individuals and practitioners in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan," adds Donald Linhorst, PhD, MSW, Interim Dean, Professor, Director of the School of Social Work, Saint Louis University. Lourdes University launched its social work baccalaureate program in 1984. First accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) in 1993, the program has been accredited through 2021. The Bachelor of Arts in social work degree program provides the knowledge, values and skills necessary for students to engage in generalist social work practice. As social work majors, students learn how to view ethnic, sexual, racial identity and differing abilities from a culturally competent, strengths-based perspective. Quality field education requirements allow students to choose 3 from a variety of sites including social service agencies, domestic relations court, hospitals and other health care organizations.
