Samuel Merritt University is currently accepting applications for part-time adjunct faculty positions in the Master of Social Work (MSW) Program. Our university, with a focus on health sciences, has a rich history of educating ethical, caring, and highly skilled health professionals in various undergraduate and graduate programs.

The fully staffed MSW program comprises four full-time faculty, an administrative assistant, and a pool of part-time lecturers and field instructors.
