Earn your master degree online

You will earn the same diploma as our on-campus students

SUNY Plattsburgh's CSWE-accredited Master of Social Work (MSW) program is offered either fully online or via a hybrid modality with some face-to-face courses at our Queensbury campus. Be a leader in social change through interdisciplinary collaboration, innovation and advocacy. You may qualify for NYS licensure in social work in two years of full-time study, or in as little as one year if you have advanced standing and hold a bachelor’s in social work from a CSWE-accredited program. SUNY Plattsburgh's MSW program offers extensive field education opportunities. Students have access to a wide range of field education options, diversifying their experiences and preparing them to be highly skilled and community-engaged practitioners.
