Applications are being accepted now to the University of Kansas Advanced Standing MSW program on the Pittsburg State University campus.
Pitt State social work alumni and those soon to graduate, as well as BSWs from other accredited programs, may be eligible for KU’s Advanced Standing Program. To serve Pittsburg and the surrounding areas, this program will be offered on the Pitt State campus every other Saturday with the alternate Saturdays delivered in a distance-learning format.
This program will have a clinical focus, preparing social workers for clinical social work practice. Master’s level social workers practice in a variety of settings including, but not limited to, mental health centers, hospitals, schools, hospice, addiction treatment, and Veterans Affairs.
Pittsburg State University’s Department of History, Philosophy, and Social Sciences consists of those specialties that have emerged as so desirable in the 21st Century labor force. Top corporations are looking for career-oriented employees, people who can thrive in ambiguity and chaos, who think outside the box, who can shift gears quickly and competently, and who, most importantly, can work with people of every conceivable background, locally or internationally.
Students who want to craft a solid foundation for a rich career and a satisfying existence that draws its knowledge about people from data and research should pursue a degree in the Social Sciences, History, or Philosophy.
