The GSSW has plans to introduce a five-elective curriculum plan that will add two electives to the existing three for both clinical and macro students that encompasses all fields-of-practice concentrations.
The GSSW has always been known for its unique clinical program while also being at the forefront of preparing students for macro practice. Given the rapid changes in society, the GSSW has introduced an exciting new macro practice curriculum. Our Social Innovation Program will prepare students to acquire social entrepreneurial and leadership skills with a focus on planning, policy analysis, development, administration, community organizing, and financial leadership. The curriculum blends core management skills with an emphasis on creating sustainable social change.
