Message from the Fayetteville State University (FSU) MSW Director

On behalf of the social work faculty and staff, I welcome you to the Master of Social Work Program at Fayetteville State University. The primary purpose of the Master of Social Work Program Student Evaluation Plan is to orientate students to the Master of Social Work Program, the University, and what will be expected of you as a FSU student at the Academy of Health Science.  Information, guidelines, curriculum, and policies regarding the MSW Program are provided to guide you in your successful completion of the MSW Program.

The mission of our program is to prepare students for professional social work practice and leadership with a focus on issues concerning children, families, mental health, and substance abuse.  Our program is designed to produce social workers with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide leadership in addressing the complexity of problems encountered in rural, urban and military settings. The curriculum prepares students to become leaders and advocates for socio-economic justice in a multicultural society. You will become a part of an educational community that brings together faculty, social work professionals, and students for collaborative learning.

We are delighted that you chose Fayetteville State University as the institution to pursue your MSW degree. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact my colleagues or me at any time. The faculty, staff, and I look forward to working with you.
Best wishes,
