On-Campus MSW Program
Students in the Two-Year Program (full-time) or Four-Year Program (part-time) complete their required courses in person at the University of Maine.
On-Campus Two-Year Program
Students admitted to the two-year MSW program complete their required courses in person at the University of Maine’s campus in Orono. Students are admitted as a cohort in the Fall semester only. The two-year MSW program consists of 63 credit hours and is divided into a generalist or foundation year and an advanced or specialization year. Coursework in the MSW program is sequential. Students should plan to take courses in the order listed in their program of study and must complete the generalist course sequence and 400-hour generalist internship prior to beginning their specialization year. Alongside their specialization year coursework, students in the two-year program complete a 500-hour internship at a second organization as part of their program of study.
On-Campus Four-Year Program
Students admitted to the four-year MSW program complete their required courses in person at the University of Maine’s campus in Orono. Students are admitted as a cohort in the Fall semester only. The four-year MSW program consists of 63 credit hours, with the first two years focused on generalist or foundation coursework and internship and the second two years focused on advanced or specialization coursework and internship. Students in the four-year program are eligible for financial aid provided they are enrolled in at least 6 credits per semester.
Some students choose to condense their final two years of study into a one year, allowing them to earn their MSW in three years instead of four. Students who wish to make this change should do so in the second year of the MSW program.
