Master of Social Work —
Accessible and Affordable

The Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) program is ideal for social workers who want to earn a master's degree that can enhance their career opportunities. The program enrolls part-time and full-time students, and also offers an Advanced Standing Option. Through this option, outstanding students who excelled in their undergraduate work can participate in an accelerated program to earn their master's degrees in one calendar year instead of two.
