Four-year Part-time MSW Plan of Study

If you choose this plan, you take all classes on a part-time basis, and you complete the MSW program in four years. 

The program has two main components: classroom instruction and field instruction. Classroom instruction is where you learn the skills you need to work in the field. Then, you get the chance to apply that knowledge through field instruction in a social service agency. 

You will take at least two courses (including field instruction) each quarter. You complete your field instruction requirements during your third and fourth year.
