Social Work (MSW) may be completed fully online, although not all elective options or program prerequisites may be offered online. Newly admitted students choosing to complete this program exclusively via UCF online classes may enroll with a reduction in campus-based fees. Students who apply for admission into the online part-time track will not be permitted to switch to the on-campus, face to face program and students who apply for the on-campus, face to face program will not be permitted to switch to the Online part-time track.

The curriculum draws from a generalist perspective and emphasizes critical thinking skills, empirically-based accountable practice, and ethical services for clients experiencing a wide range of problems. Students learn preventive and therapeutic interventions aimed at enhancing human functioning and quality of life. Graduates of the program have the ability to work with diverse clients in a variety of agency settings.

This program has potential ties to professional licensure or certification in the field.
