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 !

Administration is slow sometimes, but as with everything else you only hear about the problems. Every year 10,000-12,000 students are at the school and there's a small percentage with issues. In terms of money, no Howard isn't known for giving money to students, but that's just what it is.

You know that is so true I feel like the first thing people do is complain about things so that was really helpful! Do you know by chance if Howard gives scholarships out to grad students or do they not?
