Overview
Social work is your calling. Be the change needed to help improve lives, stand up to injustices and prevent social problems.
The University of North Dakota's (UND's) online master's degree in Social Work is especially tailored for students who work full-time. The Online (Distance) Concentration is available for students who have completed a Bachelor of Social Work (B.S.W.) degree from a CSWE-accredited program. Those without a B.S.W. but with a bachelor's degree in a related field can purse the Online (Distance) Foundation.
Online student tuition is charged per credit regardless of residency. This means you will pay the North Dakota in-state tuition rate regardless of your state of residency.
