Today, our university continues to grow and evolve and now offers Boston’s only women’s undergraduate program and graduate programs open to all.

Any course modifications must be approved by the Course Manager, with final approval from MSW Program Leadership prior to implementation.

It is expected that each Section Instructor will facilitate live instruction, provide support to students, evalute required written assignments, review and engage with asynchronous course materials, and prepare for the live sessions.
