Social work graduate programs allow students to earn the academic requirements necessary to become licensed social workers dedicated to helping people overcome problems in their lives. They may work in private or public organizations that serve the needs of children, offer counselling services, deliver social service programs, or advocate for members of society who may otherwise fall through the cracks. While some people with advanced degrees from social work graduate programs spend a significant amount of time visiting people in their homes or at institutional facilities, others may spend the majority of their time working in private offices, counselling individuals and families.
