[humanser] New list member with a question regarding MSW VS MA in Human Services

[Merry Schoch]

Greetings a warm welcome to our human services was served. Yes, the social work program is very diverse and spreads an umbrella over many different fields. Working with immigrants and refugees are one such field.
Again, with a warm welcome to you.
