MSW Partnership Program with The Ohio State University

Wright State University is pleased to partner with The Ohio State University College of Social Work to provide a part-time M.S.W. program to people and agencies in the Miami Valley Region of Ohio. This five-year partnership began with the first class in 2006 and we will continue admitting new students each fall through 2010 under this current agreement. Students admitted into this program will take most courses at a Wright State/Dayton area location while pursuing the curriculum of Ohio State's existing MSW program. Students may use the application below or may find the application, along with additional information about Ohio State and their various programs at their web site: http://www.csw.ohio-state.edu

Attending a program that is offered between two schools can seem daunting and, perhaps, uninviting. Faculty and staff at both schools are committed to making this process as streamlined as possible for students, recognizing that with opportunities (two email accounts, for example) come challenges (where to send essential email?, for example). To assist with your information search, please refer to WSU-OSU MSW Program Partnership Information to find contact information about both programs without having to search "all over" for it.

Students enrolling in this program may matriculate as a four year/part-time student as designed (2 courses per quarter for 3 and then 4 quarters per year); however, students working with an OSU advisor, may make program modifications to progress through the program at a slightly faster pace. Both Wright State University and the Ohio State University full-time faculty and adjuncts provide instruction for this program.

SOCIAL WORK Graduate Courses

In addition to our partnership with Ohio  State described above, Wright State University offers graduate education courses in a variety of disciplines and fields of study including psychology, education, medical sciences, gerontology, and women's studies to name a few. Also, many course offered in our BSW program may be taken as graduate courses with the proper call number. In some cases, courses offered by us or by those department might be useful for continuing education for professional social workers seeking such education for license renewal and knowledge expansion and, in other cases, students may wish to take a course at WSU that may count towards their degree at Ohio State (see above). The information below contains information that, along with the searchable electronic schedule found on the WSU Registrar's page, can provide students with some options for consideration.

Thank you for your interest in our graduate social work program opportunity. We continue to work for the development of a free-standing MSW program that serves the needs of the people and organizations in this important region of the state.

We look forward to working with you to help you pursue your educational and professional goals! For more information contact Dr. Michel Coconis, WSU MSW Program Coordinator, or call 937-775-3436.
