Valdosta State University’s Master of Social Work program has earned a top three spot on MastersInCounseling.org's list of the Best Social Work Master’s Programs in Georgia for 2027.

VSU's MSW program was established in 1995 through the collective efforts of area social workers, concerned citizens, university faculty, and others and originally offered in a traditional face-to-face format. In 2003 VSU became the first institution of higher education in Georgia to offer a hybrid, competency-based Master of Social Work program. https://bit.ly/4rsExRw 🔥
