Since its founding in 1918, the Smith College School for Social Work (SCSSW) has been dedicated to providing an in-depth, theoretically-grounded clinical social work education. SCSSW is renowned for its unique low-residency structure which brings students to campus for focused academic study in the summer months, and places them in rigorous clinical internships throughout the nation from fall through spring. All aspects of the M.S.W. and Ph.D. programs are guided by an explicit commitment to anti-racism, adopted by the School in 1996.
