Coursework
Here is a sample schedule for each quarter in the MSW Day Program broken down by Specialization Area. Day students must complete a total of 75 credits, all with at least a 2.7 GPA. These credits will come from a mix of required courses, electives, and practicum/fieldwork. For more information, see MSW Course Descriptions.
Please note: This is a sample schedule for illustration purposes and is subject to change.
*Electives vary year to year and address a wide range of social work topics. Electives are aimed at developing knowledge and skills to work with diverse populations and within different settings, allowing students to supplement their core social work curriculum with courses focused on their interests.
Fieldwork
Field education is an integral component of your social work education. It provides a “practicum” experience, which prepares you for independent social work practice and professional leadership. Experiential learning—learning by doing—is how social work students learn the skills they need to succeed as social workers. For details, see Field Education.
