Program Overview

The Master of Social Work program at Northwest Nazarene University offers the working professional an opportunity to complete a master’s degree through an extended program of study. This program is ideal for those with work and/or family responsibilities. Students admitted at the foundation level may complete their course work in two and one-half years (five semesters plus two summer sessions) while students admitted at the advanced level may complete their course work in one and one-half years (three semesters plus one summer session).

The program utilizes a cohort model for core courses that supports an interactive learning environment as well as collegiality throughout the student’s course work. The primary goal of the program is to prepare students for advanced social work practice in rural and small town settings, both domestic and international.

Three areas of concentration are offered: Clinical Social Work Practice, Gerontological Social Work Practice, and macro social work practice in Management, Community Planning, and Social Administration.  Within each concentration, opportunities will be given to pursue specialized interests and projects.

The MSW program is accredited with the Council on Social Work Education.
