Take the Next Step

For some of our students, an education doesn’t end with an undergraduate degree. The School of Social Work prepares graduates for whatever may be in front of them—a career or graduate school. Advance your professional goals through Monmouth’s Master of Social Work, a two-year, fully accredited program that will prepare you for licensure as a clinical social worker or social worker. Many other Monmouth students have pursued additional degrees at institutions such as Fordham University, New York University, the University of South Carolina, and many others.

Monmouth offers a five-year path to a Master in Social Work. Complete your bachelor’s degree in social work at Monmouth, then take your fifth year to complete the MSW.
