What Our Master of Social Work Students Are Saying

Through their coursework, and through a number of opportunities to see their classroom lessons in action, such as participating in Social Work Day at the United Nations, our students finish the Master of Social Work program ready to make a difference. They are prepared to work with individuals, families or groups in a variety of advanced-practice settings — including behavioral health, substance abuse and healthcare.

A few of these dedicated, ambitious students share their thoughts about what their Seton Hall education has meant to them both personally and professionally.
