Master of Social Work (MSW)

California State University - San Bernardino

The CSUSB School of Social Work offers coursework leading to the completion of a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree. The program is modeled on the requirements of the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), the national accrediting body for social work programs. All MSW courses are offered on the main campus in San Bernardino, or online via the Pathway Distance Education Program. There are currently no plans to teach MSW classes at our Palm Desert Campus.The Two-Year Program: Two academic years (4 semesters) of coursework. This option is best for students who are able to focus their time and attention to full-time, intensive study. The Three-Year Program: Three academic years (6 semesters) of coursework. This option is best for students who have to work (or have other, similar obligations) while they are enrolled in school. No less rigorous or intensive than the two-year program, but spread out over three years.Pathway Distance Education Program: Essentially, this is the same as the three-year program, but is taught online for students who either live too far away to attend courses at the main CSUSB campus, or are in a work / personal situation that makes campus-based attendance at CSUSB impractical.
