The University of Minnesota's MSW program quickly emerged as my top choice, due to the strong reputation of the program, the connections available through a research-intensive institution, and the relative affordability.
I'm very happy with my choice! Meet some of our MSW students and alumni, and read the advice they have for new students. Program options Our MSW program offers a full-program option for students who have not completed a bachelor's in social work BSW or an advanced standing consideration for students who have completed a CSWE-accredited BSW degree in the last seven years and earned a grade of B or higher in their foundation courses.

Non-degree students can take up to 6 credits 2 courses before they are accepted. Valuable hours, valuable output. An extensive network of clinical field partners and over 2, clinically prepared MSW alumni help position students for practice with collaborative partnerships in a variety of statewide clinical social work settings.

It really prepared me for real world clinical practice. This has been an incredible experience and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else to get my MSW. They were able to get to know you and really help you zero in on your strengths and the things you could improve on, especially when it comes to the clinical aspect of your practice.
Professors were able to give individual attention even though they have a lot of students and were doing their own research.
