Applications are not currently being accepted.
Post-Baccalaureate Certificates in Social Work serve as stand-alone credentials for practicing social workers who seek formal professional development opportunities in their field, or provide practicing social workers a flexible option to pursue the MSW degree.
Laddering from Graduate Certificates to MSW
Students who complete the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Advanced Social Work Practice and one of the Certificates in a Specialization area (e.g., Clinical Social Work Practice, International and Community Development, or Leadership in the Human Services), may receive credit for the 24 units (4 full-course equivalents) of coursework completed in the two certificate programs, if they are subsequently accepted to the Master of Social Work (course-based) program. Students must apply to the course-based MSW degree within five years from the beginning of their first post-baccalaureate certificate in Social Work.
Program Delivery
The certificate courses are offered through a blended delivery model, which includes both face-to-face and online learning. The face-to-face components are offered either in block format or on evenings and /or weekends. This allows working professionals the flexibility to complete the Graduate Certificates and consequently the MSW program while maintaining full-time employment. It also provides the flexibility for learners in rural and remote areas to continue living in their home communities while working toward a graduate credential.
