Master’s of Social Work from Arizona State University to take place in Northern Arizona!

From:
Edwin Gonzalez-Santin, MSW
Anne Blair, MSW, LCSW

I am so happy to finally announce a planned start date for an ASU MSW Cohort program in Northern Arizona.  If we find the level of interest we expect to find, organizational and administrative tasks will occur Fall 2011 semester to prepare for classes to begin in Spring 2012.
There has NOT been a decision made about the location of this program.  Based on the responses that I get from this email, a decision will be made about whether to locate on the Navajo Nation at a central location or to locate at the Flagstaff NAU campus (or both if we miraculously have at least 20 students for each cohort location).

ASU Social Work Faculty retreat is this Friday (August 19) at which time this Northern Arizona MSW cohort will be discussed and a decision will be made by faculty whether to approve.  It all depends on the number of people who are interested in classes starting Spring 2011.

Please pass this email on to anyone and everyone you know (especially within Navajo Social Services please) who has ever expressed an interest in obtaining an MSW in Northern Arizona through ASU's accredited program. 

Please remember and pass on the information that you must have an undergraduate degree but it is NOT necessary to have a Bachelor in Social Work degree for admission to an MSW program.

PLEASE respond to this email no later than Thursday August 18, 2011 if you would like to hold a place for yourself in this exciting cohort program -- having this degree program offered up here is a dream come true for those of us who have worked so hard to ensure this opportunity.  Please respond via email rather than by telephone to ensure that I have a good count as this will be the determining factor in whether ASU can bring this program to us.

Thank you for your quick response and your patience as we have worked through the barriers and challenges!

Join the ASU MSW Cohort program and change your life (no kidding, it really will).
