Interested in earning an advanced degree in social work but don’t want to travel far for classes?
Since 1985, the UNC Chapel Hill School of Social Work has offered its Master of Social Work degree through the Asheville Graduate Center on the campus of UNC Asheville. This distance education program enables students to study in Asheville, completing the first half of the program within two years. Students are then required to attend classes in Chapel Hill to finish the degree. The program will accept its next cohort of students for fall 2009.
