Abstract
Part-time MS W programs are increasing nationwide in response to the growth of the adult student constituency and the financial constraints of BA-level social workers who cannot forego employment to attend traditional two-year MSW programs. Some skepticism exists, however, regarding part-time programs' educational effectiveness and the quality of their graduates as professional practitioners. This paper describes and compares MSW students in the traditional two-year program and those in an innovative part-time degree program at the Hunter College School of Social Work. It presents findings on the differences in the performance levels and field-work settings of part-time and full-time students, with implications for part-time program evaluation and improvement.
