Expert advice for future graduate students
Today’s online academic programs are nothing like they were 20 years ago, or even 10 years ago. Improvements in technology, course and curriculum development have opened the doors for a generation of new faculty who are not only experienced in teaching online courses but were once online students themselves. This has helped tremendously in bridging the gap and making the online experience equivalent to in-person learning.
The program leading to the degree of Master of Social Work covers a minimum of four semesters for full-time students and requires the completion of 61 semester hours of graduate work including class and field instruction, as well as thesis or integrative seminar.
