These schedules are designed for students enrolled in the U-M SSW MasterTrack or Social Work Essentials Certificate (SWEC) program. Prospective students with extensive human service experience, verified by resume review, are eligible to apply. Applicants must meet the same admissions requirements as those set for the MSW program to be considered for admission. Students who are enrolled in the MasterTrack Program must successfully complete the certificate program on the Coursera platform. Students who are enrolled in the Social Work Essentials Certificate (SWEC) must complete the certificate on the Canvas Catalog platform.

Students interested in the on-campus program enter in the fall term and take academic coursework for three (full-time) or seven (part-time) consecutive semesters. Full-time students in the on-campus MSW program are concurrently enrolled in field education in each of their three terms.

MasterTrack/SWEC students in the online MSW program will complete the MSW degree over seven consecutive semesters (part-time schedule) and can enter the program during the fall, winter, or spring/summer semesters. To arrange field placements, students must contact the Office of Field Education at the time of admission, especially those seeking to enter employment-based field placements. Refer to volume 3, section 5.01 Employment-Based Field Placements Policy, for more information.

Part-time MasterTrack/SWEC MSW students in either the on-campus MSW program or the online MSW program enroll in field education during the last four terms of enrollment of the seven-term program.

MasterTrack/SWEC students may not receive transfer credit equivalent to any of the following foundation level courses: 505, 506, 507, 508 or 509, and will not receive credit towards their degree if they take any of these courses in the SSW.
