About the Program:

The mission of the MSW program at Utica College is to prepare students for excellence in the practice of clinical social work using evidence-based, recovery-oriented approaches. The MSW program understands the challenges arising from tensions between the person and their environment, with cumulative traumas from developmental, social, and systemic forces building over the life course to impede upon individuals ability to thrive and create vulnerabilities to illness. With this in mind, in order to build the human relationships that facilitate post-traumatic growth for individuals, families, and groups, it is essential for clinical social workers to consider historic and institutional pressures alongside personal and interpersonal experiences of distress, intervening through clinical practice while addressing the policy, economic, and institutional contexts of the work.
