The University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work offers a Master of Social Work (MSW) program accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). The program is available in both in-person and (from Fall 2025) flexible, part-time online options. Students can specialize in Direct Practice (serving individuals, families, and groups) or Community, Organization, and Social Action (COSA—focusing on leadership and policy advocacy). The curriculum integrates evidence-informed and anti-oppressive practice, professional practicum placements, and optional certificates in areas like Children, Youth and Families; Integrated Healthcare; and Mental Health. The online program features the same curriculum focus and offers in-state tuition for all online students.
