Our BSSW, MSSW, and DSW programs offer a quality education delivered exclusively online to maximize student learning while balancing work and family life.
Online at every level
Online Bachelor of Science in Social Work
Designed specifically for transfer students, our online BSSW program requirements are identical to the on-campus program.
We now offer Tennessee Community College graduates GUARANTEED and PRIORITY admission if certain requirements are met.
Online or Hybrid Master of Science in Social Work
Flexibility is what we had in mind when designing the online MSSW program. Though the format for course delivery is flexible, students can expect to receive the same quality and rigorous education that face-to-face students receive.

Online Doctor of Social Work
Geared toward working professionals, the DSW is an intensive, accelerated program that enables students to satisfy all degree requirements in three years, without career disruption.
While the program is fully online, all DSW students come to the Knoxville campus for one week each summer for a period of on-campus focused study.
