Formerly called the Asheville Distance Education MSW Program, this semester the program moved to Blue Ridge Community College in Flat Rock, N.C., near Hendersonville, and was renamed the Mountain Area Distance Education MSW Program. The move was necessary because of recent changes in the University's funding model for distance education.

  

This relocation brings a new and exciting opportunity to grow and strengthen our presence in the area by admitting a class of students annually, rather than every other year, beginning next fall. The program's format, curriculum and field education opportunities remain the same.

 

To celebrate the formal opening of the Mountain Area program, a reception will be held on Wed., Oct. 21 from 5-7 p.m. at the Blue Ridge Conference Center on campus. All are welcome to attend. Please RSVP to Sarah Naylor at (919) 962-6444 or smnaylor@email.unc.edu.
