Accelerated Programs
The Saint Louis University School of Social Work offers accelerated program options that allow eligible students the opportunity to earn graduate credit by enrolling in graduate-level courses during their senior year of undergraduate studies. SLU students pursuing an accelerated program will save time and money while advancing their education.
Accelerated Bachelor’s-to-Master’s (ABM) Pathway Programs
In addition to our existing accelerated options, the School of Social Work has introduced new ABM pathway programs that are open to undergraduate students from any major at SLU. These pathways provide a flexible and efficient route to graduate study, allowing qualified students to begin select master’s-level coursework during their senior year and transition seamlessly into full graduate status.
New ABM pathway options include:
These new pathways expand access to graduate education and create additional opportunities for students to align their undergraduate experience with long-term professional goals in behavioral health, social services, criminal justice, research, advocacy and leadership.
