Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and Master of Social Work (MSW) - (3+1)

Simmons University - Kaplan International

Simmons University’s accelerated 31 program gives students a path to complete both their Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and Master of Social Work (MSW) in just four years.This unique and innovative program provides exceptional training in clinical social work, scholarship, and social action at a quicker pace, so that students can enter the workforce earlier and better prepared for success.In 1904, Simmons became the nation’s first institute of higher learning to offer training for clinical social workers -and has since been the industry-leading pioneer in social work education.

Our one-of-a-kind 3 plus1 program continues this tradition by offering an intensive yet rewarding opportunity to complete both the BSW and MSW degrees at an accelerated pace. Hands-on curriculum and field experiences are transformative and enriching, linking academic knowledge to a greater purpose of serving communities through social justice.

Students in the 31 program also benefit from all the advantages that our nationally regarded School of Social Work (SSW) has to offer: acclaimed faculty, alumni who are leaders in the field, and an ideal Boston location in the Fenway and Longwood Medical Area.
