Traditional MSW Curriculum

We offer multiple courses of study for the MSW degree. If you are planning on working while going to school, you should choose a part-time course of study. If you need assistance deciding which track is best for you, email us at swinfo@buffalo.edu.

This curriculum is effective Fall 2024. If you started your MSW program prior to Fall 2024, please follow the curriculum listed in the Student Handbook for the year in which you began your program.
