Seton Hall University's master's program in social work equips students to advance their professional journey, providing specialized concentrations in behavioral health along with New Jersey's sole graduate forensic program. Recognized among the top social work schools by U.S. News & World Report, the curriculum features two pathways tailored for both B.S.W. holders and those without prior social work education. Applicants lacking a bachelor's in social work may enroll in the Regular Standing track, achievable within two years of full-time study or up to four years part-time. The initial year combines flexible learning options, available either on-campus or through live online sessions.
