The MSW prepares you for advanced specialized practice and leadership roles in diverse communities.

It will take you either one or two years to complete your MSW program, depending on your bachelor's degree credentials. The format is hybrid — on-campus, virtual and off-campus.
The MSW curriculum includes foundational courses and concentration courses. You will choose one of three available concentrations: Health and Behavioral Health; Children, Family and Community; or Mental Health and Addictions.
Because a successful practicum experience is important to both the student and the agency, the MSW Field Director works with you on an individual basis to help ensure a good fit in your practicum locations.
