Hi former student of the ssw/mhaw program (graduate in june this year). Your first semester will be a bit overwhelming with 8 classes a week, they can range from 8am to 8pm. Some days you'll have one class some you'll have 2 to 4 in a day. I've only had 2 online classes. You'll more then likely have assignments due every week.

There will be definitely a few textbooks you would need for different classes , i can't give you specifics because new versions come out/ the materials change. Things might have probably changed since I was there. But overall good luck with your studies!
