SW 6140 - Community-based Strategies for Social Change

This is the first of a two-course sequence of courses in the Macro sequence of the MSW Program. It focuses on substantive areas and skills related to community organizing, advocacy, and community development. A history of US social movements and social change is presented with the goal of strengthening students’ commitment to the profession’s value for social justice. Through the development of agency and/or community-based projects, students will collaborate to promote changes to enhance individual, family and community well-being.
