MSW Programs
Our rigorous MSW programs will prepare you to take innovative, effective action to empower those in need and to bring greater equality to vulnerable populations.
Our flexible curriculum offers a balance of structure and individualization that lets you shape your career. Choose Clinical or Macro Practice in one of four concentrations:
All four concentrations require a field placement in addition to specialized coursework.
If work or family commitments make it difficult to pursue full time study, our Three- & Four-Year Programs allow you to pursue your degree at a more flexible pace. You can begin the Three-Year Program at our main campus in Chestnut Hill or at our off-campus location in Worcester but must complete your final year of coursework in Chestnut Hill. Your field work, however, may continue in a geographical location that is closer to your residence.
If you want to combine social work with a career in law, business, or pastoral ministry, you can earn a dual degree.
If you have MSW course or fieldwork credits, you may be eligible to apply as an advanced standing and transfer student.
