Macro Social Work Practice Major Added to Online Program

BU School of Social Work recently added the Macro Social Work Practice Major to the Master of Social Work Online Program. The critical social issues at the forefront in this election year demonstrate the continuing need for skilled social workers trained to facilitate change at the larger community and organization systems level. These skills are vital to the creation of equitable public policy that promotes social justice as efforts made through macro social work strategies can enable dialogue, action, and steps to effect large-scale change.

The online MSW macro major encompasses a broad range of skill development, including nonprofit administration, community development, financial management, advocacy, and more, while the convenience and flexibility of the online format allows students continue to live and work in their communities while they study.
