Master of Social Work

At King University, you join more than a Master of Social Work (MSW) program. You join like-minded, passionate professionals who are deeply dedicated to being change agents for oppressed individuals, families, communities, and organizations. You graduate knowing how to bring lasting hope and help to your clients and communities.

We offer both a Foundation and Advanced Standing (for students with a BSW degree earned within the past 5 years from a CSWE-accredited program) program option to cater to your current education level. The Foundation program can be completed within 22 months and the Advanced Standing program can be completed within 12 months.

The online program empowers you to do more with its Clinical Advocacy focus. You’ll learn how to identify community resources and service gaps and develop realistic plans to obtain essential resources, revise existing programs, and create new ones. Topics such as grantsmanship and fundraising prepare you to acquire capital that supports long-term advocacy — a skill that puts you ahead of your competition and ensures your clients and communities can count on hope as a way of life.

Throughout the curriculum, you'll study the micro, mezzo, and macro levels that ensure you can assess, evaluate, and treat clients.

Throughout the program, you'll be guided by faculty who offer rich experiences in how they integrated the ideals of a Christian faith into practice ethically and professionally.

Our curriculum is aligned to CSWE competencies. The MSW program is currently in Pre-Candidacy for Accreditation by the Council on Social Work Education’s Commission on Accreditation. Accreditation applies retroactively to program graduates once it is obtained.
