The Master of Social Work Day Program is designed as a two-year (six-quarter) full-time program of study combining classroom and field practicum work. The professional foundation curriculum is completed in the first year, and students complete the advanced curriculum in the second year. Day students have a wide range of options available for the advanced curriculum, including concurrent degree programs.

Students attend classes between two and four days each week during the first year and spend two days per week at the practicum site during winter and spring quarter of the first year. Students usually take one or two days of classes and spend three days at practicum during the second year. Most classes are held during daytime hours. Day Program classes are taught by a mix of state-funded and auxiliary faculty. A full range of campus and School resources is available to students during regular business hours. The tuition structure for the Day Program is explained in the “Residency, Tuition, and Fees” section of this bulletin.
