Admissions

Syracuse University offers two different tracts: traditional, for those with a bachelor’s degree in an area that is not social work; and advanced standing for those who graduated within the last 10 years from an undergraduate social work program that is accredited by the CSWE. Learners who complete the program will earn a CSWE-accredited MSW degree for social work. To complete an application, you will need to submit:

  • Official transcripts from all postsecondary institutions

  • Résumé or CV

  • Personal essay

  • Letters of recommendation


Field placements

Woven throughout the curriculum are two distinct placement experiences. First, traditional learners will complete 200 hours of foundational fieldwork through virtual field placements.  During placements, learners will participate in live simulations, engage with expert demonstrations, practice skills independently, and build foundational knowledge. Next, traditional learners will complete 800 hours, or three terms, of concentration fieldwork at one placement site.

These field placements are designed to help learners put their newly acquired skills into practice.

Online learners can expect to experience similar placements as on-campus learners. Previously, placements for the on-campus MSW program have been internships with organizations or programs such as departments of health, state and federal representative offices, homeless and housing coalitions, integrated health clinics, healthcare-setting administration, medical social work, VA medical centers, outpatient drug and alcohol treatment, family and child therapy programs, and inpatient psychiatric units.

Learners participating in the advanced standing track will take part in two terms of concentrated fieldwork, completing 500 hours at a placement site where you will be able to put what you learned into practice in real time.
