"description": "<p>The Online Master of Social Work (MSW) Part-Time Track is a cohort program <strong>offered completely online</strong> and allows students who do not have a BSW degree to complete the MSW required curriculum online over the course of three years.</p><p>The first year of study in the Online Master of Social Work (MSW) Part-Time Track includes 18 credit hours of class work. The second year of study includes 18 credit hours of class work and 6 credit hours in the field. The third year of study includes 12 credit hours of class work and 8 credit hours in the field.</p><p>The MSW program is designed to prepare students to become successful practitioners in the field of clinical social work. 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>Students who apply for admission into the fully online, part-time MSW track will not be permitted to switch to the on-campus MSW track due to the strict cohort model the fully online track follows.</p><p>This track is completed entirely online and charges an enhanced tuition rate. As such, Online MSW students are not permitted to simultaneously enroll in any graduate or certificate programs through UCF aside from the Military Social Work Graduate Certificate. Please visit UCF Online for additional information about tuition and fees.</p><p>The 62-hour MSW program is composed of 39 credit hours of required core and advanced clinical specialization courses. In addition, students complete 9 credit hours of electives and 14 credit hours of field experience. Independent learning is demonstrated throughout the curriculum through the process of inquiry and dialogue. Projects such as research studies, clinical assessments and treatment plans, papers, and internships also contribute to the self-development of our students.</p><p><strong>Total Credit Hours Required: 62 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.
