Is it possible to take classes part time so I can hold a job also? If so, what is the difference in the amount of time it would take to complete the track?
University of New England Admissions - December 22nd, 2010 at 05:22pm
Brittany, students in our online MSW program take one course at a time (every 8 weeks). Many of our students work full-time or part-time to maintain their living expenses.
Richard - May 16th, 2011 at 04:35pm
How long would it take to complete the MSW if I were to take one class every 8 weeks?
Jenna - January 8th, 2011 at 03:10pm
Is it possible to start the MSW program online and move to the traditional, on-campus program as circumstances allow?
University of New England Admissions - January 13th, 2011 at 03:02pm
Jeanna, unfortunately, this typically is not an option that is available. There must be extenuating circumstances that occur in order for a student to transfer from online to on-campus or vice versa. The timeline and course load is very different for each program, so it is very difficult to transfer a student over.

I have everything I need to apply except for the human biology course. I have found a college where I may be able to take the course this summer. However, the course ends on Aug. 11 and applications for the MSW program are due on July 20. What are the odds I will be allowed into the program since I will have completed the course by the time classes begin?
Jeanette - April 13th, 2011 at 07:28pm
what is the human biology that u must take to enter?
Melody - April 17th, 2011 at 03:42am
I have an undergraduate final GPA of 2.47 (was a single mom holding down a job, did the best I could). However I am currently in a Master’s program online at a different university and currently have a 2.97 GPA. What chance do I have of being accepted into the program? FYI I currently work for Child Protective Services and want to make this my career – so I don’t want to continue a MA in Prof. Counseling if I can get an MSW.
University of New England Admissions - April 27th, 2011 at 11:10pm
Melody, if your GPA is lower than a 3.0, there are two ways that you can help your chances of being accepted. One way is to have 5 or more years of experience in the social work field. Another way is to have taken a couple of graduate level courses in a related area of study and maintained a 3.0 average.
If either of these situations are true, then your chances of being accepted with increase greatly.
Shanta - April 20th, 2011 at 06:36pm
Do you have a spring class for the Masters of Social Work program? And if so, what is the application deadline, registration deadline, and when do classes start?
University of New England Admissions - April 27th, 2011 at 11:09pm
Shanta, we do offer classes that begin January 11, 2012. The application deadline has not been set as of yet; however, typically it falls around the end of October.
Katelin - April 23rd, 2011 at 07:13pm

University of New England Admissions - May 25th, 2011 at 01:38pm
Katelin, unfortunately, it is too late to enroll for the summer semester as classes have already begun (May 4th). We are currently enrolling for the fall 2011 semester. If you are interested in starting your studies in August, please note the dates below.

If I enroll and complete MSW with this online school will it be accepted in the state of Ohio for licensing?
UNE Admissions - June 20th, 2011 at 05:41pm
Natalie,
Thank you for your recent question on the UNE MSW website. The University of New England is regionally accredited through the New England Association of Schools and College and the Master of Social Work program is accredited through the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). If you would like to learn more about your own state requirements for licensure in social work, please visit the Association of Social Work Boards: http://www.aswb.org/

Will my online Master’s degree credits be transferable to another major college in another geographical location?
Debbie Hemingway - July 9th, 2011 at 11:59am
The traditional MSW program completion time is approximately 4 years. Can one complete the program earlier?
UNE ADMISSIONS - July 20th, 2011 at 02:22pm
Debbie,
The program is designed so that our students take just 1 course every 8 weeks. At this point, there is no option for doubling up on courses. The only option to finish the program a bit sooner would be to be approved by the Program Director to take courses during the field placements. This is not guaranteed and students must be excelling in their coursework to petition to the Program Director. If approved, a student could finish the program 2 semesters early.
Patience - July 28th, 2011 at 02:44am
I am just learning about your program and am interested in a fall start. The deadline for the fall start was July 20, is there a way that my application might still be accepted?
UNE Admissions - August 2nd, 2011 at 08:15pm

Robin - July 30th, 2011 at 08:32pm
I am curious why this program takes 4 years when other MSW programs can be completed in 2. I have a B.A. degree (not in social work). For those who already have an undergraduate degree…can we complete the program in 2 years?
University of New England - August 8th, 2011 at 03:44pm
Robin,
In the past, many individuals requesting information on UNE were unaware that our online graduate students take only one 8-week course at a time. This way, UNE students are able to:
– Focus on one assignment, discussion board and professor at a time
– Complete the practicum separate from the coursework
– Dedicate on average 20-30 hours per week on their coursework
– Balance their work and studies in a manageable way
At this time, we do not allow our students to double up on coursework.
Heidi - August 22nd, 2011 at 03:53am
I understand that each class is every eight weeks, but my question is; are there any breaks in between the classes or is it ongoing until you finish your degree?
tronda - August 29th, 2011 at 08:33pm
I have been out of school for over 12 yrs, so I don’t have an academic recommendation.
Will my application be accepted without an academic recommendation.
Jeanne - September 24th, 2011 at 03:05pm
I would like to begin your online MSW program January 2012. I am in the process of locating a Human Biology course online and plan to enroll immediately. With that in mind, is it too late to begin the application process for January 2012 admission.
I have a BASW from the University of Washington, School of Social Work, Seattle, WA – 1990, with a GPA of 3.2. I was on the President’s five out of six of my last quarters at the University of Washington and, needing 180 credits to graduate, have 249 total credits incuding three graduate MSW courses with 4.0, 4.0, and 3.9 GPA’s.
Long story short, please advise re the opportunity to complete application process and begin my course work 01/2012?
Thank you so much,Jeanne

When is the next deadline to register for the program?
Heather - September 30th, 2011 at 12:50pm
If I start the MSW program online, can the internships be done anywhere (I live in Mississippi) Can I complete my interships here, or would I have to travel somewhere else to complete this area of the program?
claudia - October 1st, 2011 at 02:20pm
I was wondering if any knows when the application deadline is for courses in 2012?

I meet all the requirements with the exception of the letters of recommendation. At this time, I have one from my employer, is this enough? why must there be two?
Tamara - November 29th, 2011 at 03:05am
When is the next deadline for application and the next start date for classes. Is there a printable curriculum which can be submitted to my state board here in ohio so they can advise me on the acceptability of your cousework? Thank you!
Zsuzsanna Balogh - February 28th, 2012 at 10:54pm
Is it possible to to take 1 or 2 semesters off during the program? (We are planning to have a second child.)
Also, are there breaks during the program or is it year-around for 4 years?
Thank you.
Milly - March 8th, 2012 at 04:38pm
I graduate with from the BSW in December from UWF. My GPA is 3.85. How soon should I apply for the advance standing? The dead line is November but is there an open date? Are there any scholarship for the MSW program?
Danielle - April 4th, 2012 at 06:52pm
If you enrolled into the advanced standing track for online only, are you allowed to double up on courses at any time?
Ramona Ward - April 10th, 2012 at 12:11am
I’m interested in starting my Master’s this year, but I was wondering when the next semester starts. If there is one that starts in Sept. 2012 or around that month what would the application deadline be?
