The part-time program allows students to complete their M.S.W. degree requirements in four years, usually completing course work in the first and third years, and field placement and concurrent Theory and Practice course work and Field Education seminar in the second and fourth years. Students may fulfill degree requirements by taking some of their courses in the evening, or some in summer sessions, depending on availability of courses. Students who enroll for the minimum requirement of six credits each fall and spring semester will be required to enroll in some summer sessions. Part-time students complete 18 hours within a calendar year to meet residency requirements. During the first semester of graduate study each part-time program student, in consultation with a faculty adviser, develops a plan of study for completion of the degree. Students must complete the program within five years.
