Master of Social Work - One-Year Program

The School of Social Work offers a Master of Social Work (MSW), which may be completed in a one-year, two-year, or three-year program. Our MSW programs are delivered in two formats: on-campus and distributed learning (DL), which allows students to largely take courses online with periodic visits to the campus. Our programs combine a robust curriculum with practicum education experience for future social workers wishing to work with children, families, groups, and communities.

The MSW's advanced generalist concentration presents students with a broad-based set of knowledge, skills, and values necessary for multiple levels of advanced social work practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. The major emphases for the concentration year are direct services to individuals, families, and groups, community and organizational practice, policy analysis and practice, and research as practice.
