Part-Time Student Stories
“I've been out of school for over 15 years, and in that time I've been working as a case manager. I love what I do, but in order to grow in my career, I need a master's degree. I wondered, how can I do this? U‑M's part-time program is my answer. Going to school part-time allows me the flexibility to maintain my job responsibilities while getting my MSW, at a pace that allows me to balance my work, family and other obligations.”
“The part-time program makes it possible for people to transition into a second career or get an MSW. The program has a lot of flexibility – you can navigate this path in a non-typical fashion. I grew up locally, I’ve always loved U-M, and it is the #1 school of social work, but I wouldn’t have been able to attend without the part-time option.”
“The part-time MSW program allows me to continue doing my job, which I love and am passionate about, while pursuing a skill set that is really important. My schedule is very intense, but the staff and faculty at the School of Social Work have been extremely supportive in helping me navigate the MSW program while giving me the flexibility to work full time.”
