Some of our students have experienced international field placements in South Africa, Ecuador, India, Latvia, Mexico, and the Philippines, and we are now developing relationships with other international sites.Family Centered
The family centered component of our program focuses on the nature of families in terms of culture, community, the life cycle and the components and dynamics of family systems.Gerontology (Older Adult)
Dominican's MSW program is further enriched with gerontological competencies embedded into the foundation curriculum and structure of the program.

The professor to student ratio also allows me to work closely with experienced professors. "
