1. Masters of Social Work - Qualified students may earn a M.Div. or M.A. in Theological Studies degree at NES and a MSW degree from RWC in a time-shortened manner.

Overview:

Cooperative degree students pursuing an M.Div. will be expected to complete all the requirements for the MSW degree plus 62 required hours of the M.Div. program or 44 for the MA program. Thirty (27-30) credits of MSW courses will be substituted for the self-selected studies requirement.  For cooperative degree students pursuing an MA 44 hours are required in addition to completing all requirements for the MSW degree. Persons interested in a cooperative degree program must apply to each program individually. (This option is also available for the M.A. program.)

Requirements:

To be admitted as a regular student in the M.Div/MSW programs at Northeastern Seminary and Roberts Wesleyan College, the applicant must:
  • Have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university.
  • Complete the application process.
  • Demonstrate readiness for graduate-level academic work and be approved by the seminary admissions committee.
  • Apply separately to Roberts Wesleyan College for the M.S.W. program.
  • For students with a qualified Bachelors of Social Work degree an advanced standing option is available which has the potential of shortening the time to completion.

Timeline:

(NES-2.5 years for M.A. or 3.5 years for M.Div. degree. RWC- 1.5-2 years for MSW dependent on admissions status and baccalaureate degree.)

2. Elective Courses. NES students may take elective courses to enhance their M.Div. or M.A. in Theological Studies degree programs from Roberts Wesleyan College masters programs in Counseling, Psychology, Education, Management, and Music on a space available basis, if prerequisites are met. Contact an admissions counselor for more information on these elective options.
