Dominican University Reviews of Master's in Social Work

"The program is not very challenging, and the faculty - while nice- are not very organized. There is no cohesiveness, and you can never get the same answer from any two people. I paid for my letters, but did not learn anything. The perk: full time advanced standing students can graduate in as little as 9 months."

"It was a good experience. A very rigorous program."

"I was pleased with the education I received through Dominican University."

"Dominican should not have an Advanced Standing option. The curriculum is a direct repeat of undergraduate social work, and honestly, the only positive is the fact that the school has a 9 month program. I would advise perspective Advanced Standing students to look elsewhere if they are interested in learning more."

"The program is great, it really teaches you a lot about what social work is all about, good clinical program and the classes are excellent with professionals in the field teaching them. I strongly recommend others to attend the program at Dominican University. I had a great experience. The students learn the main skills to become an effective social work. The atmosphere is friendly and helpful."

"I do not feel very challenged at this school. I have friends that are enrolled in other graduate social work programs from different schools and their work load appears to be more challenging and demanding. I feel too much concentration is spent on community research and global issues rather than helping the individual and family. The fact that it is a small school environment makes it easier to form bonds with your cohort and work together successfully."
