School of Social Work - Simmons College

SIMMONS SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK 13
“ I practiced social work across a diverse range of practice areas
for more than 25 years before moving into interdisciplinary
research, held faculty appointments in other parts of the country,
and currently collaborate across a wide range of local, national,
and international networks. As a result, I can say with confidence
that clinical social work training at Simmons is as good as it gets
anywhere in the world.”
