The weekend scheduling option allows students to take course work at GSSW on Friday evenings and all day Saturday. All students may complete their foundation year courses on weekends, but only those students pursuing a direct practice concentration may complete their concentration year courses through the weekend scheduling option. These students should be aware that there are limited course offerings on weekends, so they may need to choose a combination of weekday and weekend courses.
All students are eligible to take weekend courses.
Like other students in the MSW program, students attending weekend classes must complete at least one day of their required field work during weekday business hours. Graduation and course requirements do not differ from those for full time study, and all course and field prerequisites and co-requisites must be met. Part-time students must complete a minimum of two courses in any given quarter, excluding summer, and must complete their MSW degree within four years.
