Social Work, M.S.W. - Extended Option

Extended Program Sequence

*An extended three-year full-time program is offered to students who are eligible for admission into the full-time two-year program. This option is specifically designed for those students who either must work or who have family responsibilities that make it impossible for them to complete 15 credits of coursework per semester. However, in the second year of study, students will have to make adjustments to their work schedule to accommodate the 16 hours of field experience (2 full-days per week) in the 2 year and the 20 hours of field experience( 2-3 days per week) in their third and last year of study. The MSW program is willing to adjust student credit hours in order to accommodate circumstances, however it is the responsibility of students to assure they have completed all degree requirements.
