College Place Campus M.S.W.
In-Person Learning. Strong Community. One Day a Week.
At our College Place campus, you’ll complete your Master of Social Work through in-person classes held just one day a week on the main campus of Walla Walla University. This flexible schedule allows working professionals from across southeastern Washington, northeastern Oregon, and beyond to pursue clinical training without uprooting their lives.
College Place is home to the largest number of WWU social work faculty and the longest-running MSW program in our university system. That means deep ties to local agencies, rich practicum opportunities—including placements on campus serving undergraduate students—and a vibrant, supportive learning community. If you’re looking for a hybrid of flexibility, face-to-face connection, and regional relevance, College Place may be the right fit for you.
