Post Graduate Certificate in Forensic Social Work

Mission
With competence and integrity, the mission of the Advanced Graduate Forensic Social Work Certificate Program is to prepare skilled practitioners for expertise in forensic social work practice as social justice advocates for individuals, families, organizations, and communities.

Program
The Advanced Graduate Forensic Social Work Certificate Program is designed to meet the rapidly growing need throughout Nevada and the southwest for graduate level trained social workers with specific expertise related to law and legal systems. The program will address areas of practice that reflect the nexus between social work and the law, including: child welfare, domestic relations law including family violence; immigration; adult criminal and juvenile justice; public education, metal health; disabilities; and aging.

The program is guided by the values and knowledge-base of the social work profession, governed by the School of Social Work mission statement, and is directed by the School's goals and objectives.
