University of South Carolina - Columbia Reviews of Master's in Social Work

"I enjoyed my time at UofSC. The college is set in a city but has a college town vibe. The athletics and school spirit make for a good environment on campus."

"Brand new Social Work building with new programs curriculum. Full time faculty are very knowledgeable."

"USC is a wonderful campus full of rich history and wonderful experiences. The staff and faculty truly care about the students and want to see them succeed."

"Our graduate program provides a fair amount of financial aid to students. The program is very large and it is difficult to get one-on-one attention from a professor. Many students are not driven and detract from the quality of classes."

"Some of the pros of this program are the small class sizes and having classes with the same cohort. Columbia is really small and easy to get around. Everything is really close together, I came from a larger city in Florida where I would spend 2 hours everyday commuting to and from work. In Columbia, I spend about 10 minutes in the car going to class or to my internship. Southern hospitality reigns true here in South Carolina. Cons of my program are that in some classes there are too many "personal stories" and not enough lecture and application. Some classes are very political and "lean" towards a certain political view. Students should not know how a professor thinks or feels towards a certain political party. Overall, I think it is a great program and a great area. Columbia is big on military, and that is the population that I want to serve, which is why I chose University of South Carolina for my graduate degree in Social Work."

"The graduate school of social work at the University of South Carolina is an excellent program and is one of the top accredited among universities in the nation."
