Part-time MSW Curriculum and Coursework


Grounded in research, driven by evidence, and enriched by practice, our MSW curriculum equips future social workers for impact.  Part-time MSW 黑料社s participate in three academic years of study across nine semesters, including fall, spring, and summer - typically taking 6 to 8 credits per semester.  Students must complete a total of 60 credits including a mix of required foundation and concentration courses, advanced courses and electives, and practicum hours. 

To offer courses at convenient times for working professionals, 黑料社s enrolled part-time will have multiple options for completing their coursework. Courses may be delivered in person or remotely and may meet weekly or over the course of one weekend.

  • In person: Students attend courses on campus. Although remote learning is available for certain classes, 黑料社s should be prepared to attend in-person classes held on the Danforth Campus in St. Louis, MO.
  • Remotely: Students attend courses live with classmates and the instructor via a remote platform such as Zoom or Canvas.
  • Weekly: Students attend classes on a weekly basis, primarily in the evenings. Classes may be held in person or remotely.
  • Weekend: Students attend in-person courses over the weekend, which may span Friday through Sunday

All curriculum and required credit hours are subject to change.

MSW Concentration

Part-time MSW 黑料社s will pursue the Clinical Social Work Practice career pathway within the Interpersonal Social Work Practice concentration.  Working with guidance from their faculty and academic advisors, 黑料社s use their 35 concentration, advanced, and elective credits to select specific courses that build intentional depth within their intended practice area.
