Accreditation and Licensure

The online Advanced Standing MSW program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) and prepares you to sit for the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) licensing examination.

Curriculum Overview

As an Advanced Standing MSW student, you will build on your existing skills by bypassing foundational coursework and diving into the advanced concepts it takes to lead the future of the profession. This includes themes that define the Syracuse University MSW difference: military culture and mental health practice, trauma-informed care, social justice, leadership and social work in the digital age.

Through a combination of immersive online learning and in-person field placement, you will learn to advance human rights and social, economic and environmental justice using a range of engagement, assessment, intervention and evaluation methods.

• 36 Credits
• 12 courses
• 24 months part time

After just 12 credits of advanced coursework, you will choose a concentration that aligns with your intended area of practice, which you can further customize with electives.

Concentrations

You will choose between our two online Advanced Standing MSW concentrations: Advanced Integrated Practice (AIP) or Advanced Clinical Practice (ACP).

Advanced Integrated Practice (AIP)

The Advanced Integrated Practice MSW concentration is designed for those who want to practice in areas such as interdisciplinary organizations, human service administration, community organizing or public policy.

Field Placement and Support

Fieldwork is an integral part of the online MSW Advanced Standing program and will be woven throughout your studies.

During your concentration fieldwork, you will expand your knowledge, values and skills in a specialized area of practice.
