Social Work Essential Certificate

Beginning in January 2025, the MasterTrack Certificate (MTC) program, currently available on Coursera, will change its name and platform. The same great content and curriculum will be available as the Social Work Essentials Certificate (SWEC) and will replace the MTC as our School’s certificate program. It will be hosted on Canvas and maintained by our own social work program. All existing course content will be maintained in the transition, with only minor changes to accommodate the Canvas platform. The transition will be finalized in April 2025 when Coursera will no longer offer the MTC Certificate.

The SWEC will continue to be a way for students with a social service work history to significantly reduce the cost of an MSW education at U-M. The certificate offers these students the ability to complete the MSW program in 45 credits (rather than 60). For more information, visit our website or email: [email protected].
