Master of Social Work

The Master of Social Work (MSW) online program at Wayne State University is tailored for students pursuing the Interpersonal Concentration. This program emphasizes contemporary practice theories, psychosocial assessment, and clinical intervention skills, preparing students for effective work with individuals and families. The curriculum mirrors the on-campus MSW program, ensuring that online students receive the same quality education. All courses are delivered asynchronously through the Canvas platform, allowing students to manage their coursework flexibly around personal and professional commitments. While the program is designed for full-time study, students are advised against working full-time due to the expected workload. Importantly, students must complete a practicum in a community organization, which cannot be done online, ensuring practical experience in real-world settings. The program offers a supportive online learning environment with access to advisors and resources, making it suitable for self-directed learners.
