Program Requirements
In keeping with accreditation standards set forth by the Council on Social Work Education and the New England Association of Schools & Colleges, students enrolled in the 3+1 BSW/MSW Program complete all of the same undergraduate and graduate course and field requirements as our traditional programs, but at an accelerated pace.
Students choosing to pursue the 3+1 path will complete their undergraduate work in three years by taking five courses rather than four during some semesters and by taking courses during the summers between each year.
Students in the 3+1 program may then apply for advanced standing at the MSW level and, if accepted, will begin the MSW program at the end of three years. Provided they meet all requirements of the program, these students are eligible to earn their MSW in one additional year (3 semesters), allowing them to begin working and earning earlier.
