At this time we offer Two-Year and Advanced Standing program options. Both are full-time.
Currently in-person sections of courses are offered on Fridays.
Our MSW program is considered an advanced generalist program. We offer a variety of electives and practicums that can help you build your education toward your interests and career opportunities in Social Work.
International students are encouraged to apply. Transfer degrees and credits will be determined by UVU in accordance with international admissions policy.
Only individuals who have formally been admitted may take MSW courses.
Our application specifies a cumulative GPA of 3.0. Applicants below a 3.0 can have their last 60 credits of undergraduate course work considered in place of a cumulative GPA.
