Three- & Four-Year Programs

It's common for students committed to social work to have other commitments. Our Three- & Four-Year Programs allow you to shape your program around work and family without sacrificing academic excellence.

You can take your first two years of Foundation Courses at Chestnut Hill or one of three off-campus sites. If need be, you can spread your final year of study over two years to finish in four, instead of three years.

Any way you decide, you take the same courses with the same options and opportunities as full-time students. Furthermore, in your field education you get the opportunity to be placed closer to where you live.
