MSW Programs with Mental Health / Clinical Focus

[leo.avery.k]

Hi all, I'm beginning to think about going to grad school for an MSW and I know that some programs have stronger clinical practice backgrounds than others. What are the best schools for MSWs with areas of focus in mental health/therapy?

There are so many variables.  MSW programs aren’t ranked by specialty.

Do you care about rankings and/or name recognition? If so go to US NEWS & WORLD REPORT and start there….

I think it may be easier to determine if you want in-state vs. out-of-state/private and/or in-person vs. online...   $--$$$$

Full time? Part time?

Does your jurisdiction prefer in-state schools or require specific classes toward licensure?

Come up with a short list and look at the available concentrations.

I think Smith College is known for its clinical focus. I would recommend looking into their program.
