The School
of Social Work offers several foundation year MSW courses and a variety
of electives over the statewide Interactive Compressed Video system. Non-degree
students from around the state may register to take some of these courses at one
of six convenient compressed video classrooms located at each of the University
of Maine System campuses (USM, UMM, UMF, UMPI, UMFK, UMA, Hutchinson Center,
and UMLA). In addition, matriculated students may complete electives using
a distance learning format.
Child and Family Services Certificate
The Child and Family Services Certificate is a 15 credit post-baccalaureate certificate program focusing on the knowledge, values, and skills necessary for practice with children and families. The core curriculum is built around the foundation year courses of the University of Maine Master’s in Social Work program, and utilizes distance education technology and off-site locations to meet the needs of a statewide audience.
This certificate will benefit people who are working in human service agencies such as mental health centers, child welfare, child and family service agencies, and many other social services settings. Students who are licensed in the State of Maine may also submit certificate courses as part of their Continuing Education requirements. The certificate program is also an excellent opportunity for students considering the MSW degree, to learn more about the University of Maine MSW program and advanced social work curriculum.
All courses taken through the Child and Family Services Certificate program are recorded on a transcript and credits earned can be applied towards the MSW degree if the student is accepted into the UM School of Social Work. Enrolling in the Child and Family Services Certificate program does not guarantee admission into the matriculated MSW program. Please refer to the Child and Family Services Certificate Brochure for more information.
