Overview

Online learning accommodates students who may have work or family commitments that interfere with a traditional on-campus experience. Other key benefits of the MSW online program:All classes required for the Interpersonal Concentration of the MSW degree are taught online, using the Canvas educational platform.The same experienced instructors who teach in the classroom also teach in the online program. Online tools such as discussion boards, video lectures (e.g., VoiceThread), social media and other tools available through Canvas make it possible for students to complete all the same assignments, activities and other requirements that students experience in the traditional classroom.The courses are taught in an asynchronous format, which means that there are no scheduled class times. Instead, students complete the course activities at their pace each week, allowing more flexibility for students who cannot easily adhere to set meeting days and times due to family or work responsibilities.Student support is available through the School of Social Work advisors. Online mentoring, writing support, tutoring, and opportunities for Zoom and campus-based activities with peers are just some of the ways online students can access the support they need.

Factors to consider

The Master of Social Work online program from Wayne State University is designed for students who plan to enroll in Interpersonal Concentration. The program has prescribed options.

On average, successful students spend eight hours on coursework each week per course. Therefore, students are advised not to work full-time while in the full-time online program.
Students in the MSW online program must take all of their required courses in the online format in the sequence noted in the tables below.
The MSW online program offers select electives, guaranteeing your enrollment in these online courses. Students in the online program may choose to take different electives available online or on campus, but they are not guaranteed enrollment in those courses.
Courses required for the certificate programs and joint-degree programs may not have online options. Students who enroll in certificate and joint degree programs may need to take some courses on campus to fulfill their requirements.
