I want to find another Master Course The first year of part-time study consists of academic coursework only. (Most foundation courses offer a class section scheduled in the late afternoon and evening time blocks.) In subsequent years, two field placements are required in conjunction with the academic course curriculum. Students must have time available during the regular workweek for the field placement and coursework. Students must be available (during regular weekday hours) for 16 hours a week for their first field placement and 24 hours a week for their second placement. (For their second placement, students may choose the option in some field settings of a 16-hour/week placement for a full year.)If there is sufficient interest (this fluctuates from year to year), part-time students who have had previous social work experience and for whom the plan is considered educationally sound may meet the requirements of the first field experience in a summer block placement after their first year.

The programs of the Boston University School of Social Work are fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. We offer Charles River Campus programs (full-time, part-time, and advanced standing); Off-Campus part-time programs; and a part-time Online Program.
