Canisius students can go further, faster by enrolling in a new 3+2 partner program that pairs a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a master’s degree in social work.
Beginning in fall 2022, Canisius will offer an accelerated BA/BS-MSW option, made possible through an agreement between the college and the University at Buffalo School of Social Work. Enrolled students earn their dual degrees in less time (five years instead of six) and are therefore able to enter the competitive workforce sooner.
Thomas A. Chambers, dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, notes that the partnership enables students to combine the top-notch Jesuit liberal arts education that Canisius offers with an outstanding professional program at the University at Buffalo. “Quality, value, and strong career outcomes continue to set Canisius University apart,” he said.
The 3+2 program is open to Canisius students who, by the completion of their third year of enrollment, have completed a minimum of 90 credits, including the common core and psychology major requirements.
