The Community Organizing and Social Administration concentration at Pitt
http://www.socialwork.pitt.edu/academic-programs/msw/cosa.php
The Community Organization and Social Administration (COSA) concentration is seeking socially active and civically engaged students for leadership careers in community services, community development, and community change. Graduates pursue established and emerging professional opportunities in public, private, profit, and nonprofit organizations in such fields as: health care, disability services, children and youth, family services, community revitalization and development, philanthropy, policy and planning, business and human resources, community centers, and more.
COSA offers concentration courses in Human Behavior and the Urban Environment, Organizational Policy Analysis, and a social work research course related to either of the two COSA specialization tracks from which students may choose: Community Organization or Social Administration. Students must take one of the required specialization core skill courses; however, many students prefer to pursue both COSA specializations. Students fulfill their remaining credits from a range of COSA skill elective courses, which include such topics as Supervision and Personnel Management, Financial Management, Public Relations/Marketing, Issue-Based Organizing, Community and Economic Development, and Grants, Proposals and Social Work, Social Work and the Law, and Race and Social Problems. Students may also pursue elective courses in other related professional schools. All students must complete six credits of foundation field work followed by twelve credits of concentration field placement in a range of organizational settings across an array of social work issues and program areas.
