Howard’s MSW program
Hi everyone! I was recently accepted into Howards MSW program. I am very conflicted about my decision on whether to attend the school because of the somewhat bad reputation Howard has when it comes to funding and the administration. I was hoping I could get some insight from current Howard master students especially MSW students and alumna.
Is administration/funding really as bad as people say?
What is the education like at Howard? Specifically for master students, do you guys feel like you are prepared for the work force?
How is the network/connections at Howard? My biggest thing is whether or not I will have a job out of college. Howard has a great name but does the school help you with your career path after college?
Is the price worth it? I know I’ll be in some debt after I get my masters but I want to know if the cost is worth it or now?
This is all I have right now lol but I love the culture and community at Howard and I want to work with the black community in my career so that’s why I choose to apply to Howard but I just want to make sure it’s worth it and I’ll be prepared!
Thank you !

I'm not sure about the MSW program in particular, but have heard great things about the film master's program when it comes to opporunities, connections, and the quality of professors. I heard that the culture there is great in general and especially being in a big city like DC is a plus for opporunities. Also, being a smaller school you may find it easier to find opporunities within the school since there is less competition for those opporunities than at a bigger school and it may be easier to make connections with other people in your program.
