The Utah MSW Format-First Census

CSWE-accredited · Orem, Utah

Master of Social Work — Utah Valley University — 2027 edition

Utah Valley University's CSWE-accredited MSW in Orem runs 57 credits for regular standing and 38 for advanced standing, per the university catalog, in a hybrid cohort model: weekly Friday in-person sessions plus asynchronous online coursework. Full CSWE accreditation is retroactive to 2017. The program offers a Utah Crisis Worker Certification course — the census's most crisis-response-oriented option. No program-specific per-credit tuition rate is published, so this census does not estimate cost.
