Program Description Through course work and professional experience in Central Michigan University’s social work program, students will learn how to think about people and the obstacles they face and how their world helps or hurts their problem-solving skills. Students learn to help people positively advance their lives and improve the way society treats them. During the senior year, students put their new skills into practice beside an experienced professional in a social work setting. CMU social work students have been elected to the Board of Directors of the National Association of Social Workers, and CMU social work faculty members regularly hold national leadership positions. The majority of CMU social work graduates have gone on to pursue graduate degrees, including Ph.D. programs and law school. Alumni have become officers in the Army or Marine Corps, and many have elected to serve others through the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps or Teach for America.
