has-large-font-size\">100% Online Coursework with In-Person Internship<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We understand that flexibility is essential to helping you reach your goals. Our MSW program provides flexible online coursework to build a solid theoretical foundation and immersive in-person internship experiences to refine your skills as a social work practitioner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our MSW program offers an online learning format (synchronous and asynchronous classes). You can attend our synchronous courses via Zoom in the evenings and complete your asynchronous courses on your own time, allowing you to earn your degree without pausing your career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with the online coursework, you complete an in-person internship at a social service agency in your area of residence. Your internship will connect coursework with real-world learning experiences in a professional social work setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Optional in-person, on-campus touchpoints will provide opportunities for meaningful interactions with faculty and peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Earn your MSW on Your Schedule: Part-Time, Full-Time, and Advanced Standing Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UM-Flint offers part-time and full-time* Regular-Standing MSW programs for non-BSW students who hold a bachelor\u2019s degree in a field other than social work and BSW graduates who do not meet the Advanced Standing eligibility. Applicants who are not admitted to the Advanced Standing program are eligible to reapply for Regular Standing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part-time and full-time* advanced-standing MSW programs are available for students who have earned a bachelor\u2019s in social work from a CSWE-accredited institution within the last eight years with a GPA of 3.0 or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*The number of credit hours used to determine full- and part-time status as defined by the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/registrar\/student-resources\/\">University of Michigan-Flint policy<\/a>&nbsp;may differ from the MSW program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Program Option<\/th><th>Full-Time\/Part-time<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Regular standing<\/strong>&nbsp;(non-BSW or BSW earned more than eight years ago)<br>\u2022 60 credits with 900 hours of internship<\/td><td>Part-time (3 years\/7 semesters)<br><br>Full-time (2 years\/5 semesters)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Advanced Standing<\/strong>&nbsp;(BSW earned within the last eight years at the time of admission w\/3.0 GPA or higher)<br>\u2022 36 credits with 500 hours of internship<\/td><td>Part-time (2 years\/5 semesters)<br><br>Full-time (1 year\/3 semesters)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Emphasis on Community-Based Learning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your work as a social worker revolves around individuals, families and communities. UM-Flint\u2019s MSW program strives to inspire your dedication to the profession through community-based learning. Our curriculum delivers a well-rounded graduate education that empowers you to engage with communities outside the classroom, participate in interprofessional learning opportunities, and increase self-awareness to become reflective change agents within evolving societal environments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During your community-based internship, you will develop and refine social work skills in supervised practice settings while fostering meaningful relationships with peers, veteran practitioners, and community members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Research Opportunities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MSW students can engage in research opportunities through the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/research\/clusters\/coarc\/\">Center on Aging<\/a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/research\/clusters\/cota\/\">Center on Trauma and Adversity<\/a>, guided by social work faculty.&nbsp;<a href=\"\/graduateprograms\/paying-for-college\/research-assistantships\/\">Graduate Student Research Assistantships<\/a>&nbsp;offer students the chance to earn a monthly stipend while assisting faculty with innovative and impactful research.<br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"curriculum\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">Master of Social Work Curriculum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MSW program curriculum consists of a minimum of 60 graduate credits for Regular Standing and 36 graduate credits for Advanced Standing. The program begins with 27 credits of foundational coursework that combine interdisciplinary theory, research, policy, and generalist social work practice methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After establishing the foundational coursework for generalist practice, you dive into the program\u2019s specialized curriculum. These 30 credits of coursework focus on mental health and behavioral health practice and equip you with advanced social work theory, research, and policy and mental and behavioral health treatment and intervention strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can further specialize your MSW by pursuing one of the following optional pathways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Social Work in Health Care Settings Focus Area<\/strong>&nbsp;prepares you to provide holistic, psychosocial support to patients and clients in a variety of health care settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>School Social Work Pathway&nbsp;<\/strong>fulfills the requirements for a recommendation of temporary approval as a school social worker in the State of Michigan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button wp-block-flintblock-program-link\">\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/catalog.umflint.edu\/preview_program.php?catoid=38&#038;poid=16345\"\n\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\"\n\t\t\trel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button plausible-event-name=Program+Clicked plausible-event-program=Social+Work+(MSW) plausible-event-source=program-link\"\n\t\t>Master of Social Work Curriculum<span class=\"fb:sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re interested in obtaining a social work license at the BSW or MSW level, we encourage you to confirm your eligibility to satisfy all educational requirements with the State Social Work Board in the specific state or U.S. district\/territory where you wish to become licensed.
