Graduation Requirements

The MSW degree is conferred upon students who have:

  1. Satisfactorily completed 60 credit hours in accordance with the curriculum requirements as specified by the NCSSS faculty. Some students, who have received a B.S.W. degree from a C.S.W.E.-accredited school of social work, may meet the requirements with fewer than 60 credit hours by being awarded up to 30 credits. Transfer credits may be accepted in accordance with the school's policy.
  2. Successfully passed a foundation comprehensive examination during the university-designated comprehensive exam period in which the student is enrolled in the foundation field/seminar (SSS 674). Passing the foundation comprehensive is required for a student to proceed to the advanced curriculum.
  3. Designated any two scholarly papers that are already required in advanced courses and will have been completed and graded to fulfill the University writing requirement.
