Master of Social Work (Hybrid)

The Master of Social Work on-campus hybrid program requires students to be on campus only one day a week (Wednesday or Thursday). Most courses are two hours of face-to-face content with 1 hour of online content. This hybrid program has four options:

  1. One-Year Advanced Standing (open only to recent graduates of CSWE-accredited undergraduate social work programs)
  2. Two-Year Full Time
  3. Three-Year Part Time
  4. Four-Year Part Time

The three-year part-time on-campus option allows applicants to choose to take the first half of the MSW program over two part-time years rather than a single, full-time year. This option involves enrolling in the field during years two and three. In the four-year part-time on-campus option, applicants may spread the program out into four years of study, with years two and three requiring enrollment in the field. The MSW degree must be completed within four years of enrollment.

Two Track Options

  • Foundation Level

    The Foundation track for the Master of Social Work is intended for those without a prior social work degree.

    Foundation is also recommended for those who need flexibility but also value face-to-face connections.    

  • Advanced Standing

    The Advanced Standing track for the Master of Social Work is intended for those with a prior social work degree.

    Advanced is also recommended for those who need flexibility but also value face-to-face connections.

One-Year Advanced Standing Status

Consideration is given only to those undergraduate social work graduates with superior academic standing and exceptional references.

  2. Have a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0
  3. Have a reference from their senior-year field instructor
