Why UConn MSW?
Career Outcomes
Social Workers Are in Demand!
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment opportunities for social workers are projected to grow faster than average across the next decade!
Mental health and substance use social workers are expected to see a 10% increase in employment nationally, and 9% increase in Connecticut between 2022 and 2033. Healthcare social workers are projected to grow by 8% nationally and by 10% in Connecticut during the same period.
These growth rates exceed the national average for all occupations, reflecting a strong and sustained demand for trained social workers.
Graduates of UConn’s MSW program are making a difference across Connecticut and beyond—in schools, hospitals, community-based organizations, government agencies, and private practice. They serve children and families, older adults, people living with disabilities, veterans, immigrants and refugees, and individuals experiencing mental health and substance use challenges.
With UConn’s rigorous academic foundation and strong network of community partnerships, our MSW students are prepared to lead, advocate, and create meaningful change in the lives of others.
