Darcy B. Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I'm a prospective MSW applicant (applying Fall 2017 for Fall 2018) and would like to reach out to those of you who have already done extensive research on MSW programs. I am primarily interested in working with women, LGBT populations, and those affected by sexual assault and/or sexual/domestic violence. I would like to do research in gender, sexuality, and trauma. Which MSW programs have a strong curriculum in these issues or even offer specific concentrations in violence, gender, or trauma? Where should I look? Thank you!

Adelaide9216 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) I am at McGill and will be taking the MSW - Graduate Option in Gender and Women's studies to touch upon some of the topics you've listed. https://www.mcgill.ca/study/2016-2017/faculties/arts/graduate/programs/master-social-work-msw-social-work-thesis-gender-and-womens-studies Edited April 14, 2017 by Adelaide9216 Darcy B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green_dots21 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) offers both violence and gender & women's studies certificates. University of Michigan has great placement opportunities around sexual violence along with faculty with plenty of knowledge of the topic and field.

lms202 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Pitt has a certificate for MSW students through the gender, sexuality, & women's studies program http://www.gsws.pitt.edu/students/ma-certificate-msw-students I think a big thing would also be where you do your field placement. Pittsburgh has PAAR (Pittsburgh action against rape), the center for victims, and several women's shelters - msw students are placed in all of these settings. I'm sure most cities have similar programs. Darcy B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
