WWW.SIMMONS.EDU/SSW 14 MASTER OF SOCIAL WORK Exceptional preparation in clinical social work, scholarship, and social action Simmons’s nationally regarded Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) Program provides a rigorous clinical social work education for women and men. The Program is highly respected for its fieldwork component, with internships three days per week in both years of the Program. We offer a progressive, hands-on curriculum that infuses education and practice with social justice values and multicultural perspectives. Small classes, a collaborative environment, and accessible faculty make the Simmons experience personal and supportive. The Simmons M.S.W. Program reflects our commitment to providing a personalized, coordinated, and integrated learning experience. Faculty advisors supervise each student’s course load and work with students to help them select field education placements that meet their goals. Options for Completing the M.S.W. Degree THE FULL-TIME PROGRAM Students in the full-time M.S.W. Program typically require two years to complete their degree. They are assigned a field placement for three days a week for both years of the Program and take classes two days per week. THE EXTENDED-STUDY PROGRAM The Extended-Study Program offers students the option to expand a two-year program into two-and-ahalf, three or four years. The first year of the Program could be called part-time, as students devote two days a week to classes and study. Simmons offers flexible scheduling to accommodate working professionals; however, not all Program requirements can be met in the evening. In the subsequent years, students must plan four or five days per week for classes and field placements. Most students complete the Program in three years. THE ADVANCED-STANDING PROGRAM The Simmons School of Social Work offers a 12-month Advanced-Standing Program to qualified applicants with a bachelor’s degree in Social Work (B.S.W.) who have graduated within the last five years from a program accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). The Program includes one three-days-per-week (24-hour) field placement from September to August, concurrent with a total of eight advanced-level courses. BACHELOR OF SOCIAL WORK PROGRAM Starting in 2012, the Simmons School of Social Work will offer an undergraduate degree in social work: a bachelor of social work (B.S.W.).
