–Farha Sandhu (COM ’09)

On May 1, 2009, BUSSW’s Off-Campus Programs will relocate its program in Tyngsboro to Chelmsford, MA. This new campus in Chelmsford is housed at 100 Apollo Drive (off of route 129), just minutes away from Route 3, Route 495 and the Lowell Connector. The campus is suitably located for those living and/or working north of Boston; Lowell and the Merrimack Valley; western Massachusetts; and New Hampshire. An open house will be held at the campus this fall.

“With ample free parking, wireless internet and state-of-the-art classrooms, the MSW part-time program in Chelmsford is a perfect alternative for students looking for an adult learning, cohort model of education,” states Mena daSilva-Clark, assistant dean for Off-Campus Programs. “It is flexible, allowing students to manage employment and/or family responsibilities at the same time as being in a MSW program at a distinguished university.”

In addition to the Chelmsford campus, OCP offers a Master of Social Work degree in Clinical Social Work Practice at Fall River and Cape Cod, Massachusetts. For further information please visit www.bu.edu/ssw/ocp.
