Michigan State University School of Social Work Continuing Education offers rigorous professional development for master's-level social work practitioners:
Both the Competency Series and the Refresher Course are offered in an online format only.
All School Social Work courses qualify for Continuing Education credits and are offered on a revolving basis. All courses are offered in a fully online format and follow a semester long format. Work load and time needed for each school social work course is that of a 3 credit graduate level academic course. Courses may be taken in any order. Please email or call 517-353-3060 with any questions.
Please note: In Michigan, Social Workers may earn up to one-half of the required continuing education contact hours through online or electronic media. If you live outside of Michigan, check with your state’s social work regulatory body.
Please see our current catalog (linked in top right corner of this page) for course offerings each semester.
