As my time as a full time mom came to an end, I began to start thinking about what the next season of life would hold for me. I came across the Kent School of Social Work’s online program at the University of Louisville. I felt it was a perfect fit for me and my career goals.

It has enabled me to have the flexibility I need to continue to care for my family, but also to effectively work toward my master’s degree in social work. Every professor and administrator I have encountered has been willing to provide whatever help and support I needed.

I am confident in the knowledge and skills I have developed so far as the course work has been appropriately challenging and has prepared me for a successful new career.

I am proud to be a Kent School student in the Master of Science in Social Work online program at UofL. Go Cards!!

I chose to pursue my graduate social work degree online because it afforded the flexibility of attending graduate school and working full-time. I selected the University of Louisville Kent School of Social Work because of its renowned reputation in the academic community and the long tradition of quality instruction recognized in the industry.

The faculty and academic advisors are exceptional. They are flexible, accommodating and supportive. They have guided and challenged me to meet the highest academic standards and develop my skills beyond my expectations.

I look forward to applying all of the theory and knowledge I have gained in the Master of Science in Social Work online program at Kent School as I advance my career as a professional social worker. My experience has been the best!

I am a third-year online student in the Master of Science in Social Work program at the Kent School of Social Work at the University of Louisville. I am also an 18-year veteran of the U.S. Army. As I prepare my transition from a full-time military career to a career in Social Work, I find that the online graduate program at Kent School affords me a unique opportunity to obtain a high quality education while I continue to serve.

I have found the MSSW curriculum to be challenging and motivating, instructive and even inspirational at that same time. The program has allowed me to explore and improve my communication skills, which I anticipate will be paramount to my success as a social worker. The staff and faculty have been supportive and understanding of my need for flexibility and have gone above and beyond my expectations all throughout the enrollment process and leading to my practicum placement.

For me and my family, the MSSW online program at the Kent School has proven to be the most valuable resource for a bright and successful future.
