Catholic University's M.S.W.-Combined Concentration is one of the few such programs of its kind in the nation. It focuses on strengths-based practice in a variety of clinical settings and prepares students for licensed independent practice in most jurisdictions. Students in this concentration take courses in ethics, human development, clinical practice theory, research, social justice and social change. Field education prepares them for multi-level interventions with individuals, families, small groups, organizations, and communities. Combined concentration students integrate clinical and macro components. For example, a student placed at the DC Rape Crisis Center could serve as a hospital advocate for rape victims, performing direct clinical work with a client. This student may also evaluate police procedures, and later, help train police to deal more sensitively with crime victims.
