you can check YU. their program has three different options.
there is the regular program where you are in classes all day.which wont work if you plan to stay at your job.

then there is a work and school program. this would be ideal for you if you live in ny. I dont know all the details but it is desgined for people who work and I think maybe you have night classes or classes two or three days a week, I am not positive.

then there is the summer program, which my husband just did. it is three summers of classes in NY (8 weeks). the classes are all day long and then for the two years in between the summer classes you do an internship. the intership can be anywhere in the world. If they find it for you, it is unpaid. if you find your own and it is accepted by the school, you can get paid. If your job is already in the field of social work then maybe you could use that as one of your internship years? they would obviously have to let you take off for eight weeks for the classes. also people come from all over to do this program. we do not live in ny, but we moved there for teh summers in order for him to do the program. a lot of people come wiht out their families for the eight weeks. we did one year in Isael and one in the states, so its very flexible.

good luck!
