An agreement was recently signed by officials from California State University, Long Beach and Sonoma State University to bring CSU Long Beach's Master's in Social Work program to the SSU campus. Set to begin in Fall, 2007, the MSW program was mounted in response to the urgent needs of local and regional agencies for staff with higher degrees in social work.
Dr. Elaine Leeder, Dean of Social Sciences at SSU, herself an MSW, felt strongly that this was an important and needed service we should help provide. The signing is the culmination of a year-long effort by representatives of the two universities, including Dr. Leeder, Dr. Les Adler from the School of Extended Education, and Dr. John Oliver, Director of the Department of Social Work at CSULB.
SSU will provide the host site for the program, including providing instructional Television facilities, while CSULB will provide the academic content and all academic and advising services.
For admissions information contact Admissions Coordinator Candace Smith on the Long Beach campus at cmsmith@csulb.edu.
