Degree Requirements

The Master of Social Work degree requires students in the Regular program to complete 70 semester credit hours (SCH) of coursework. This number includes 22 SCH of supervised fieldwork (the “practica”) and related integrative seminars. These practica provide a total of 1052 clock-hours of supervised practice experience in selected social service agencies. Full-time students in the regular program can expect to complete the requirements for the degree over five (5) contiguous semesters. Full-time students in the Advanced Standing program (cf., below) can expect to complete the degree in three semesters. Part-time students in the Regular program should anticipate four (4) calendar years for completion and part-time Advanced Standing students should anticipate two (2) calendar years of study. Change in status (from part-time to full-time or vice versa) is permitted.

Advanced Standing

Applicants with a bachelor’s degree in social work from a CSWE-accredited program may be eligible for advanced standing. The advanced standing program consists of 36 SCH of coursework, including 12 SCH of fieldwork and related integrative seminars. This program requires one (1) calendar year of study for full-time students and two (2) years for part-time students.

Students who qualify for Advanced Standing take only the 3rd, 4th, and 5th semesters of the full-time program beginning in the summer.
