Many of our students do remain employed while completing their MSWs. The online-blended program is particularly suited to employed students, with the in-person classes falling on Saturdays and synchronous online classes taking place after pm. Students in the 4-year campus program and 2-year advanced standing program often maintain employment as well. The 2-year regular MSW program 63 credits is quite intense, with two days of classes and at least two days in field placement each week, leaving little time for employment, when time for homework is factored in.
In all the programs, time to complete field placement hours must be accommodated during the semesters that students are in their practicum sites. Students need to have availability to complete placement hours during the work week Monday through Friday during business hours.
The 3-year online-blended program is taught primarily online with asynchronous courses. Each course has two required, in-person meetings on Saturday at the University of Maine Orono campus. The seminars that students take while in their field placements are taught synchronously on Monday evenings to There are required courses in the fall, spring and summer semesters.
State licensing is not necessarily reciprocal across states, though MSW programs are quite similar due to the accreditation standards all much follow. Also we suggest saving your syllabi from all your classes, as they may be necessary in other states to prove the content you have mastered. Students within the program are able to focus on areas of interest though the research they do for their course assignments and through their field placements.
You can learn more about these certificates here. Through time-limited funding opportunities we sometimes can provide stipends for students interested in particular practice fields. You can see more about these programs here. Each fall we hold two information sessions via Zoom. A recording of our last information session can be found here. Applications are due on January 1 of the year for which you are applying.
We will continue to review applications that come in after the deadline until our programs are full. Applicants for the regular 63 credits programs are only admitted in the fall semester. Advanced standing students are only admitted in the summer, in mid-May. Individual meetings focus on particular programs. Advanced standing students are selected first, followed by the online-blended program students, and the on-campus students. We will hold an additional meeting in March to review applications that did not meet the January 1 deadline.
The MSW Coordinator will contact applicants by email soon after the selection decisions have been made. Field Education is considered the signature pedagogy of social work.
The goal of field education is to provide opportunities for students to demonstrate the Core Competencies and behaviors in a social work agency under the supervision of an experienced social worker. Field practicum experiences vary widely as there are many different types of social work and social work agencies.
Maine is known for its wealth of natural beauty. Jagged cliffs, rocky beaches, pristine forests, and picturesque mountains. It is a state of economic disparity; income is definitely closely tied to location. Residents of Maine who live in the larger cities experience much higher incomes than those who live in the rural areas. Sparsely populated by notoriously independent thinkers, Maine is a state with a wide range of living conditions. The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported in its State Health Improvement Plan that the top priorities of the state are as follows: obesity, substance abuse, mental health, tobacco use and associated efforts to educate, inform and support the public through community partners 1.
Maine has a particularly challenging problem with substance abuse. We want future students to know that at the University of Maine School of Social Work, we take pride in students having direct and frequent contact with faculty who know your name and understand your goals. We offer small classes, experiential learning, seminars, and exciting field internships. Full-time students complete the program in two years. The Extended program of study consists of 63 semester credit hours Students complete the program in three or four years.
Students complete the program in three years. Students are only admitted in the Fall of each year as a cohort.
