Earn your MSW on Saturdays with Hybrid Courses
The Part-Time MSW Program at UW-Madison allows students who are not able to pursue full-time study to work towards a master’s degree in a hybrid format: a combination of online and in-person sessions. In-person sessions take place every other Saturday on our Madison campus. Online sessions/courses are held either asynchronous and/or synchronous (remote meetings via Zoom). Students should plan to be on campus each semester and available each Saturday for class.
