The full-time 60 credit hour curriculum is tailored to students who do not work full-time, and is available on any of our three campuses. Following the course schedule from either the Clinical Social Work or the Policy, Planning & Administration Concentration, this 20-month program plan requires students to take 12-15 credit hours per semester, with a field placement in both the foundation and concentration years. A spring start option is also available, and would alter the below program plan slightly.
