NMU Department of Social Work

NMU Department of Social Work For students, alumni and friends of the NMU Social Work Department.

Northern Michigan University’s Baccalaureate Social Work (BSW) program was one of the first programs in Michigan to be accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) in 1974. NMU’s program has played an integral role in helping the university achieve its mission by giving students the knowledge and experiences to “become productive citizens in the regional and global community.”

NMU's Master of Social Work (MSW) program is an exciting opportunity for human services professionals to earn a graduate degree and take their careers to the next level. With a wide array of field placement opportunities across the Upper Peninsula, our flexible global campus option for distance students, and our options for clinical or macro concentration, we offer students an education that meets their individual career interests and learning needs. Our global campus option for distance students is zoom facilitated learning and synchronous with our traditional face to face courses! This is not a self-paced learning process and students will be integrated into the face-to-face classroom learning environment! This website is intended for information sharing among students, alumni, other practicing social workers, faculty and community agencies.
