The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics is upheld and reinforced throughout the academic curriculum. Violations of the NASW Code of Ethics may result in academic sanctions or dismissal from the program.</p> <p><strong>Total Credit Hours Required: 32 Credit Hours Minimum beyond the Bachelor's Degree</strong></p><p><strong>Please note: </strong><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/online/degree/master-of-social-work-msw/\" target=\"_blank\">Social Work (MSW) may be completed fully online</a>, although not all elective options or program prerequisites may be offered online.
