Bachelor of Social Work

The Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) Online Program at Wayne State University is designed for students seeking a flexible and accredited path to earn their degree. This cohort-based program allows both full-time and part-time students to complete their coursework online, utilizing the Canvas platform for an interactive learning experience. The curriculum includes 51 credits of social work courses and 9 elective credits, totaling 120 credits required for graduation. While all classes are conducted asynchronously, students must complete a 460-hour practicum placement in their senior year, which cannot be done online. The program emphasizes the importance of time management and self-directed learning, making it suitable for those balancing work or family commitments. Students are encouraged to engage with their peers and instructors through various online tools, fostering a supportive learning community despite the challenges of online education.
