ABOUT THE DIVISION OF SOCIAL WORK
Strengths of Our Division
The Division of Social Work has a dynamic student-centered faculty and employs additional community professionals who teach on an adjunct basis. Our small class sizes give students a strong connection to faculty and individualized attention.
How Classes Are Taught Here
Every year at the University of Wyoming, on average, 120 undergraduate students major in Social Work. Students in the BSW Program may take courses in Laramie or in Casper at UW-Casper. On the graduate level, we have around 50 students enrolled in our Master of Social Work (MSW) program. We offer both full-time and part-time options for the MSW program to accommodate varying student needs. The full-time MSW program is based in Laramie, featuring a blend of in-person and some online education components. Meanwhile, the part-time MSW program is offered in Casper and extends the curriculum over a longer period, also combining in-person and online education methods. Please note that while we have a hybrid MSW program, we do NOT have a fully online program.
DOSW Funding
The DOSW is committed to supporting aspiring social workers who are dedicated to making a positive impact in their communities. We do this through work study opportunities, graduate assistantships, scholarships, and student funds.
