The MSW in full-time status takes (three semesters) or part-time status (six semesters). Advanced Standing courses begin during the summer semester.

Regular Standing:

If you don't hold a bachelor's (BSW) from a CSWE accredited program, the Regular Standing Program is for you. Or, if you do not meet the Advanced Standing admission requirements. The Regular Standing program requires 62 credit hours to earn the MSW degree. The MSW takes two calendar years in full-time status. Or four calendar years in part-time status. Regular Standing courses begin in the fall.
