Social Work, M.S.W. @ Elms

Both SLU and Elms were founded based on the Catholic Tradition - educating students who seek a higher purpose and a greater good. Our students learn and live social work and engage in service through their commitment to serve humankind with compassion. SLU’s MSW@Elms Program offers the opportunity for students to earn an MSW from a highly ranked and internationally known program without the challenges associated with relocation. SLU faculty integrate innovative classroom activities with community-based practice.
