Is a thesis required of students in the MSW program?
No. The thesis is selected by students as an option in the advanced year of the MSW program. Students selecting the thesis option typically want to investigate something of interest in the area of social work or they want to prepare for more advanced research study perhaps at the level of a Ph.D. Students must register for six hours of thesis credit and they work closely with faculty mentors who lead them through the process of individual research.
