MSW Foundation and Concentration Courses
MSW Foundation,
Intermediate, and Concentration Courses
The first 30 credit hours of the 60 credit hour
Master of Social Work (MSW) Program constitute
the foundation for the MSW degree. They
are completed in the first two years of the
part-time program and contain the content and
learning experiences that all MSW graduates need
for competent practice. The Second 30 credit
hours are the Concentration Courses and are
offered primarily in the third year of the
program. The South Bend Program only offers one
concentration in Mental Health and Addictions.
Students wishing to graduate with another
concentration can transfer to the MSW Program in
Indianapolis for their concentration courses.
The IUPUI Master of Social Work Program offers
concentration courses in the following areas:
Children, Families, Health, School Social Work,
and Leadership.
