Students are admitted as a cohort in the Fall semester only. The online-blended MSW program consists of 63 credit hours and is completed in three years. While most coursework in this program is completed asynchronously, required courses include two in-person meetings on Saturdays at the University of Maine campus in Orono each semester and internship courses include a weekly, synchronous seminar on Monday evenings. Saturday meetings provide a valuable opportunity for students to build community with each other and their faculty as well as to engage in learning activities that cannot be completed online and\/or asynchronously. Internship seminar meetings further connections between students by offering the opportunity to share experiences with each other and their internship liaison.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading138_901390-f6, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading138_901390-f6[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading138_901390-f6\"]{margin-top:0px;font-size:18px;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:forma-djr-micro;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading138_901390-f6 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading138_901390-f6[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading138_901390-f6\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading138_901390-f6 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading138_901390-f6[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading138_901390-f6\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading138_901390-f6, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading138_901390-f6[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading138_901390-f6\"]{text-align:left!important;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading138_901390-f6, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading138_901390-f6[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading138_901390-f6\"]{text-align:center!important;}}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading138_901390-f6 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading138_901390-f6\">Coursework in the MSW program is sequential.
