MSW STUDENTS are saying about the program
“I chose the MSW program here at UGA because I wanted to study counseling, yet was moved by the knowledge that a study in social work brings to understanding the full picture of various issues that each individual has to face in life. If I counsel, I desire to counsel from a place that knows that life issues are affected by a great deal of factors, many of those factors being ones that we see on the news everyday. From that perspective, there was no contest in my choice, and that choice has proven to be a blessing to me in many ways. The experience especially that I gain from field, is experience that I know will last for, and equip me for a lifetime.”

“I have had the privilege of making critical connections, working with inspiring mentors, and creating longlasting friendships.” “My experience as a MSW student is proving to be one of the most demanding, but also, one of the most valuable. I have had the privilege of making critical connections, working with inspiring mentors, and creating long-lasting friendships. However, this program has not only provided me with personal support, but financial support as well. I was awarded the Joe and Diane Perno scholarship which has allowed me to pursue my education with less stress.”
