Social Work with American Indians, Graduate Certificate

The Anne and Henry Zarrow School of Social Work offers an embedded Graduate certificate in Social Work with American Indians. Typically obtaining a certificate does not add courses to your MSW degree but rather specifies the electives taken.

Courses cannot be double counted towards more than one graduate certificate, and certificates cannot be added post-graduation.

• No course substitutions are permitted for graduate certificates.
• Coursework applied to a graduate certificate cannot be more than five years old as of the semester the graduate certificate is awarded.
