Social Work, MSW
The mission of the MSW program is to prepare ethical, competent advanced generalist social work leaders who are able to practice reflectively and autonomously in complex environments across system levels with diverse client groups. The Advanced Generalist Practice (AGP) specialization prepares graduates to address questions, issues and problems across methods, systems, and fields of practice. As defined at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Social Work, AGP is characterized by: 1) leadership in innovative problem-solving and change; 2) autonomous practice; and 3) use of integrated, evidence-informed knowledge, values, and skills to address ambiguous, complex problems in an increasingly diverse and ever-changing practice environment.
