Master of Social Work Learning Sites

Saint Louis University offers our highly ranked Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) program at several partnering institutions of higher education. This online, on-campus hybrid model program prepares students in the Jesuit tradition to be advanced practitioners of social work, acting as agents of change to promote individual and societal well-being.

Approximately 60% of the coursework is online and the remaining 40%, including practicum planning and seminars, is taught on our partnering campus in person. All courses are taught by SLU faculty. Students have a local M.S.W. field faculty liaison to help them with practicum planning and mentoring while they work in the community as social workers.

Students eligible for advanced standing can earn their degree in a minimum of 12 months. Foundation students complete the program in as little as two years. Students earn a master's degree from SLU, a globally recognized leader in social work education. Ranked in the top 20% of programs by U.S. News & World Report, SLU is one of 27 Jesuit colleges and universities in the U.S.
