Social Work Hybrid MSW Program Options

Hybrid MSW Programs

We offer hybrid MSW cohorts in Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins. Choose the one that best fits your life and work schedule. See below for the schedule of upcoming cohorts. If you already have a BSW, you qualify for an advanced standing program requiring fewer semesters to complete.

Our hybrid MSW programs are designed to give you the best of both in-person and distance learning. Our hybrid programs provide the same challenge, community, and courses as our in-person programs and are delivered by the same instructors.

80% asynchronous

Learn on your own time with two in-person weekends per semester.

Challenging Courses

Course content and instructors are the same as in our on-campus programs.

Cohort model

Learn with others and develop community, just like an in-person program.

A program that fits your life

Fit our MSW program into your life. Continue to work, care for family, and pursue passions.

I would recommend the distance program for anyone wanting to maintain their current connections and life, and who wants a more intimate setting than just another online program can offer.

Our Hybrid MSW is delivered through CSU Online
