"I did my homework, and Florida State University is one of the highest-ranked master's programs for clinical social work in the country. FSU also had the highest graduation rate.
As a mature student with the responsibilities of work and parenting, I needed asynchronous classes, a flexible schedule, supportive teachers, and a fabulous student success coach to keep me motivated and on track.
Now that I am a part of the program, I can tell you FSU is even better than I had imagined!
I recommend Florida State University to anyone considering a Masters of Social Work degree."

My Advisor has impacted me tremendously ... she supported me the entire way through my MSW application process. She made it easier to complete all the necessary requirements and apply for the social work program I was meant to take.

As an online MSW student, you’ll participate in social work field placements that will qualify you to pursue a license in clinical social work upon graduation. Both our Advanced Standing and Traditional online Master of Social Work programs are clinically-focused so you’ll get the real-world experience you need to be career-ready. Our social work programs are part-time to accommodate busy working professionals. It is very difficult to secure a placement during nights and weekends as we want to make sure you have a supervisor onsite to help and mentor you and this is usually done during traditional working hours.
