It provides the student with an opportunity to test classroom knowledge as well as to develop and refine foundation and advanced practice skills. Decisions regarding field assignment are determined by the Field Director. Only agency sites approved by the School of Social Work may be used for field instruction. Advanced Standing MSW students complete a minimum of 600 clock hours in the field. Field education includes a field seminar. Students must complete at least 50 percent of their field hours during the agency's normal business hours. Evening (after 5:00 p.m.) and weekend placements are extremely limited. The School of Social Work is under no obligation to provide such placements. Consequently, field placements cannot be guaranteed to students who require evening and weekend placements. Many social work agencies have students complete background checks, including formal background checks, law enforcement fingerprinting, driving records, and criminal record checks. In most instances, the expense for the background check is the responsibility of the student. We urge students to seek this information prior to entering the field experience if there is sensitive information that may prevent them from being accepted at an agency. Students must also report any background issues on the field application so that an appropriate placement can be made. The UCF School of Social Work cannot guarantee a field placement or subsequent degree completion for students who do not pass background checks. </li></ul><h4>Grand Total Credits: <strong>32</strong></h4><h2>Application Requirements</h2><h2>Financial Information</h2><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans. For more information, see the College of Graduate Studies Funding website, which describes the types of financial assistance available at UCF and provides general guidance in planning your graduate finances. The Financial Information section of the Graduate Catalog is another key resource.</p><h2>Fellowship Information</h2><p>Fellowships are awarded based on academic merit to highly qualified students. They are paid to students through the Office of Student Financial Assistance, based on instructions provided by the College of Graduate Studies. Fellowships are given to support a student's graduate study and do not have a work obligation. For more information, see UCF Graduate Fellowships, which includes descriptions of university fellowships and what you should do to be considered for a fellowship.</p><p>The MSW Advanced Standing tracks allow no more than one C grade or 3 credit hours (whichever is greater) to be used toward the degree requirements. Exceeding three credit hours or one C grade is grounds for dismissal from the MSW Advanced Standing tracks.</p><p>Previous baccalaureate coursework will be reviewed to ensure content equivalency. In advanced standing admission, a maximum of 30 foundation-level credits may be waived based on the content equivalency to meet foundation MSW admission requirements, which consist of courses in human behavior and the social environment, policy, research, social work practice, and social work field placement.</p><p>Educational standards for all social work programs are established by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), the national accreditation body for professional social work education. Curriculum direction and content is regulated by the CSWE through its accreditation standards. The MSW program at UCF is fully accredited through CSWE.</p><p><em><strong>Required Sequence of Curriculum</strong></em></p><p>*The Online MSW is primarily an asynchronous program, which means that courses are generally not held during a fixed meeting time. However, there are some courses where synchronous, or \"live\" sessions are a required component of the course assignments. Because an MSW is a professional degree that allows students to engage directly with clients, synchronous sessions are put in place to support student's skills and evaluation in this area.<br/>Some of the courses that may have required live components as a part of an assignment include but are not limited to SOW 6324 Clinical Social Work Practice with Groups and SOW 6433 Clinical Evaluation in Social Work Practice. Dates and times of live sessions will be announced before the course begins, or in some courses, multiple options are provided.</p><p><br/><strong>First Semester (Fall)</strong></p><ul> <li>SOW 6123 - Psychosocial Pathology <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> <li>SOW 6424 - Theories for Evidence-Based Clinical Practice in Social Work <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> </ul><p><strong>Second Semester (Spring)</strong></p><ul> <li>SOW 6348 - Clinical Practice with Individuals <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> <li>SOW 6612 - Clinical Practice with Families <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> <li>SOW 6561 - Part-Time MSW Clinical Field and Integrative Seminar I <strong>3</strong><strong> Credit Hours</strong></li> </ul><p><strong>Third Semester (Summer)</strong></p><ul> <li>SOW 6324 - Clinical Practice with Groups <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> <li>Clinical Elective <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> <li>SOW 6562 - Part Time MSW Clinical Field and Integrative Seminar II <strong>3 </strong><strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> </ul><p><strong>Fourth Semester (Fall)</strong></p><ul> <li>SOW 6433 - Clinical Evaluation in Social Work Practice <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> <li>Clinical Elective </li> <li>SOW 6563 - Part-Time MSW Clinical Field and Integrative Seminar III <strong>2 Credit Hours</strong></li> </ul><p><strong>Transfer Credit</strong></p><p>Academic credit for life experience and previous work experience shall not be given, in whole or in part, in lieu of Social Work courses required to fulfill degree requirements.</p><p><strong>Due to the cohort nature of the track and university policy, transfer credits will not be considered for the market-based, fully online part-time Advanced Standing track.</strong></p><p><strong>Cost Per Credit Hour</strong></p><p>For the Online Part-Time Advanced Standing Social Work track in the Social Work MSW program, the cost per credit hour is $487.45.*</p><p>*Includes all university fees, which may be subject to change.</p><p><strong>Tuition waivers are not accepted for the Online MSW.</strong></p><p><strong>Independent Learning</strong></p><p>Independent learning is demonstrated throughout the curriculum through the process of inquiry and dialogue.

Dates and times of live sessions will be announced before the course begins, or in some courses, multiple options are provided.</p> <p><br /><strong>First Semester (Fall)</strong></p> <ul> <li>SOW 6123 - Psychosocial Pathology <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> <li>SOW 6424 - Theories for Evidence-Based Clinical Practice in Social Work <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> </ul> <p><strong>Second Semester (Spring)</strong></p> <ul> <li>SOW 6348 - Clinical Practice with Individuals <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> <li>SOW 6612 - Clinical Practice with Families <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> <li>SOW 6561 - Part-Time MSW Clinical Field and Integrative Seminar I <strong>3</strong><strong> Credit Hours</strong></li> </ul> <p><strong>Third Semester (Summer)</strong></p> <ul> <li>SOW 6324 - Clinical Practice with Groups <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> <li>Clinical Elective <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> <li>SOW 6562 - Part Time MSW Clinical Field and Integrative Seminar II <strong>3 </strong><strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> </ul> <p><strong>Fourth Semester (Fall)</strong></p> <ul> <li>SOW 6433 - Clinical Evaluation in Social Work Practice <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> <li>Clinical Elective </li> <li>SOW 6563 - Part-Time MSW Clinical Field and Integrative Seminar III <strong>2 Credit Hours</strong></li> <li style=\"list-style: none;\"> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Transfer Credit</strong></p> <p>Academic credit for life experience and previous work experience shall not be given, in whole or in part, in lieu of Social Work courses required to fulfill degree requirements.</p> <p><strong>Due to the cohort nature of the track and university policy, transfer credits will not be considered for the market-based, fully online part-time Advanced Standing track.</strong></p> <p><strong>Cost Per Credit Hour</strong></p> <p>For the Online Part-Time Advanced Standing Social Work track in the Social Work MSW program, the cost per credit hour is $487.45.*</p> <p>*Includes all university fees, which may be subject to change.</p> <p><strong>Tuition waivers are not accepted for the Online MSW.</strong></p> <p><strong>Independent Learning</strong></p> <p>Independent learning is demonstrated throughout the curriculum through the process of inquiry and dialogue.
