We pride ourselves on the range and quality of agencies we team with to provide our students with an outstanding education in social work. We’re also continuously seeking opportunities to pair our talented students with employers’ needs, and we welcome new partners to join the more than 1,000 agencies with which we have relationships. Students emerge prepared to address today’s most pressing social problems—98% of our graduates enjoy employment within a year after graduation.

MSW students at Boston College School of Social Work focus on clinical or macro practice and specialize in a concentration that combines two years of fieldwork, skills-based advanced policy, and practice courses in specific areas.
BCSSW also offers three dual degrees (MSW/MBA, MSW/JD, and MSW/MA in Theology and Ministry) and certificate options.
The Career Services Office is interested in partnering with employers to address your recruiting needs. Some of the ways we can work together include recruitment fairs, job listings, and employer visits. Please email Career Services or call 617-552-4035 to discuss how we can develop an ongoing plan to meet your organization's hiring needs.
Looking for bilingual, culturally aware job candidates? To better prepare students to work with this diverse population, Boston College School of Social Work established a Latinx Leadership Initiative (LLI) program within the MSW program. The LLI bolsters students' linguistic and cultural competencies to work with Latino communities in the U.S. and abroad. A set of foundation and method courses are taught in Spanish.
