Plans of Study: Part-Time Plan
Elaine Gerald, M.S.W.
Retired Assistant Dean, Director of Admissions
|
The Part-Time Plan of Study is for students who cannot take a full-time plan for various reasons, such as family or work commitments. It is normally completed in three or four years.
COURSEWORK
The first and second years of classes (Foundation Phase) are the same for all students. Fieldwork begins in the second year.
The courses in the third and fourth years are determined by your concentration:
You also have the option of completing some courses during summer sessions (usually mid-May to early July).
Learn more about each concentration on our Concentrations page.
Learn more about the classes in the sample schedules below on our Courses and Master Syllabi pages.
FIELD INSTRUCTION
Most students in the Part-Time Plan complete 14 hours of fieldwork per week, but you can schedule 21 hours per week.
All students are expected to complete 600 hours of fieldwork placement in the Foundation Phase and another 600 hours in the Advanced Phase (1,200 hours total for the degree).
Learn more about fieldwork on our Field Instruction page.
