alaska girl Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Hello people! I literally just joined this forum, and I already have questions, haha. I really would like to get a MSW with a military concentration, but the only school I've heard of with a military program is the one in Cali near San Diego...anyone going or heard of someone going??? I'm curious if it's a good program/is the $ worth it (I'm not even sure how much it is, to be honest)?? I'm still waiting to get my bachelor's in Anthropology, should be graduating this fall! Any info on that program would be super helpful! Thanks. Or if you know of another military program, that works too

Still interested in the program, of course!
erinl Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I'm not sure if this is the program you've looked at, but there is a great MSW program with a military concentration at USC. Not quite San Diego, but located directly underneath downtown LA. This program is $41k/year, however. I was accepted to the program a couple months ago but had to pass it up simply because USC offers its social work students virtually no funding. Lol, yup...just looked at the prices and am price-shocked! Still interested in the program, of course!
MSW Bound Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I have looked at a gizzilion programs and I must say USC is one of the best! Although the price is high, I am believing for a loan forgiveness upon completion!

Sometimes I'm not sure if I want to go into gerontology or military social work, though I'm leaning more towards military... Thanks for your input!
MSW Bound Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Mental Health or Families and Children... Military will be a great area with all of the military and military families that are and will be in need of service. What area of social work are you looking into? Sometimes I'm not sure if I want to go into gerontology or military social work, though I'm leaning more towards military... Thanks for your input!
