2 years (4 semesters)
Georgian Court University requires 900 total hours of clinical work, completed over four semesters:
- Foundation year: 200 hours per semester
- Advanced year: 250 hours per semester
In the case where the student is working within an agency that is large enough to allow the student to move to a different department-and hopefully with a different population-on designated field work days this may be possible.
The MSW program follows an Advanced Generalist Practice model, preparing students across multiple areas of social work, including clinical practice, community engagement, policy advocacy, administration, and leadership.
Tuition is charged at $769 per credit. The $250 tuition deposit is waived for New Seminary students. Additional technology fees apply based on enrollment status.
Federal graduate student loans are available to eligible matriculated students enrolled in 6 or more credits per semester.
Tuition and fees are subject to change each academic year.
Financial aid advice is provided by the Seminary.

The New Seminary is proud to announce its affiliation with Georgian Court University to offer a fully online Master of Social Work (MSW) program beginning Spring 2027.
The 65-credit, CSWE-accredited program is designed to be completed in two years of full-time study and prepares students for social work licensure, subject to state requirements. With Sunday live classes, asynchronous coursework, field placement support, and an academic calendar considerate of major Jewish holidays, the program is designed to provide a supportive and culturally responsive educational experience.
More than 500 New Seminary graduates are already making meaningful contributions to the field of social work, and we look forward to preparing the next generation of social work professionals.
