What is the difference between the MSW@USC and the MSW?
Virtually, nothing. They are the same degree; the only difference is in how they are delivered. The MSW@USC mirrors the rigorous curriculum of the onsite MSW program, but in a flexible, highly interactive web-based learning platform, taught by our same, regular full-time faculty. When Virtual Academic Center students graduate, their diplomas will say Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California, the same as students who attend the University Park campus or one of our other academic centers.
