Students in the residential program indicate a preference for a pathway when applying to the MSW program. For full-time students, the pathway is officially declared when applying to the first field placement. Part-time students select their pathways in their first fall semester of the program. Students completing the online program will be completing the Interpersonal Practice in Integrated Health, Mental Health, and Substance Abuse Pathway.
