Two-Year MSW Program
The traditional two-year MSW program features a comprehensive curriculum with a hybrid learning format. The first year is dedicated to building a solid foundation in generalist social work practice, followed by a second year focused on advanced social work practice. Tailored for students with a bachelor's degree in a non-social work field, Capital’s program encourages applications from diverse academic backgrounds. Students in the traditional MSW program are required to complete 59 credit hours in addition to field hour requirements.
Advanced Standing (ASAP) Program
The Advanced Standing (ASAP) one-year MSW program is a dynamic three-semester initiative commencing in the summer and concluding the following spring. Specifically designed for individuals holding a bachelor's degree in social work from a CSWE-accredited program, this program offers an accelerated pathway for those wishing to pursue advanced practice social work careers. Students in the one-year MSW program are required to complete 36 credit hours in addition to field hour requirements.

Past field placements have included Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Ohio Health, Ohio Guidestone, addiction treatment services, community mental health centers, school districts, and youth advocate programs.
