The MSW program is the largest graduate program at SU and is seen as a university pioneer in providing non-traditional academic programming.

The School of Social Work is committed to providing accessible, cutting-edge social work education to students locally and globally and is known as a leading innovator on campus. Over the past decade the School has branched out throughout the state by establishing four satellite sites across the state of Maryland, which allows students who, otherwise, would be unable to leave their community to attend a more traditional program. Since 2014, in collaboration with a sister institution and under a contract with the Department of Defense, the School of Social Work provides social work education for military-connected undergraduate and graduate students in Europe. Most recently, the School of Social Work launched a regional online BASW and MSW option.
