An innovative agreement between the University of Windsor and the University of Detroit Mercy marks a first in cross-border cooperation: the Detroit campus will host UWindsor’s Master of Social Work for Working Professionals program.
“This is exciting because it’s breaking new ground,” said Brent Angell, director of the UWindsor School of Social Work. “It’s the first time in history that a social work program from Canada will be offered in the United States – and for that matter, it has never been done the other way around either.”
