The MSW curriculum is a sixty-credit program. Students elect either a clinical practice concentration or a management concentration. The first year is structured to provide the student with a generalist base of practice. The student is required to demonstrate beginning skills and competence in the foundations of social work practice with individuals, families, small groups, communities, and organizations. In order to be considered for admission for the fall semester, all application materials must be received by the department by March 1.
Applicants are responsible for insuring that application files are complete.
The program is designed to be completed in two years of full time study. However, students needing more time are encouraged to select a three or four year plan of study. The extended study student must meet the same admission requirements as the full-time student. The student follows the same curriculum structure and course sequence, but takes fewer courses per semester. Students are required to be enrolled as a full-time student for one academic year during the period of extended study.
