No, but please keep in mind that these certificates are not credit bearing and therefore, are not transferable to another university.
Absolutely! You can send a request to be contacted by a current student. You can also connect with current MSW students as well as other prospective MSW students at one of our student led virtual meetings.
Not necessarily. If students are interested in a dual degree program as an On Campus or Online MSW student, completion of the Social Work Essentials/ MasterTrack is not required. Students could simply apply to the residential MSW program and also apply to the other dual degree program.
MSW students will solidify their chosen pathway when they begin applying for their field placement in the MSW program.
Students need to enter the MSW program within 2 years of completion of the Social Work Essentials Certificate or the MasterTrack Certificate.
All MasterTrack courses were created with universal design principles to be accessible to all learners. More information for Coursera learners with disabilities can be found here. If MT learners need additional support they can email: [email protected].
All Social Work Essentials courses were created with universal design principles to be accessible to all learners. If SW Essentials learners need additional support they can email: [email protected].
