WEST CHESTER UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SOCIAL WORK DEPARTMENT MASTER OF SOCIAL WORK PROGRAM The Graduate Social Work Department expects to graduate professionals who think critically, communicate effectively, appreciate diversity, are competent to practice, and are committed to life-long learning, scholarly research, and evaluation of their practice. With a concentration in direct practice with individuals, families, and communities, graduates from our program are prepared for theory-integrated practice in numerous public and private social service settings whether it be with individuals in personal crisis; families coping with loss, restructuring, or stress overload; or communities striving for autonomy. The program consists of 54 semester hours of core content plus six addition hours of electives. The program can be completed within two years (full-time option) or four years (part-time option). These regular full-time and part-time options begin in the Fall semester. An advanced-standing plan recognizes the achievement of outstanding B.S.W. graduates, who graduated from Council on Social Work Education-accredited programs within the past five years with an overall grade point average of 3.0 and 3.25 in the social work major. Advanced standing has a full-time one-year option and a part-time two-year option. Both advanced standing options begin in May with two summer sessions followed by either two or four academic year semesters.
