Yes, but TTI's program is the only one that can be done from Lakewood and on a kollel schedule. Besides, I don't think Bulka has for men, and I doubt a Lakewood kollel yungerman wants anything to do with Touro, let alone a Touro social work program. Also, she said she wants accelerated.

AFAIK those two are full time programs and not accelerated.

They’re both accelerated and full time .
Wurzweiler does give you the option to go at your own pace and graduate after the cohort .
I would assume Bulka is the same but I don’t know for sure...

Please don't encourage him to do social work! The odds stacked against him to support a family! Burnout is high when you are simply not making enough to cover bills. In social work 60k is considered great:( many earning as low as 40k for a master's degree.

Isn’t some parnasah better than nothing?
What else do you suggest he do?

Work in an office? Realtor? Computer programming? Sell insurance or mortgadges? Management (of property or store) These jobs don't require a degree.

If he wants to get a degree get one with more potential. Engineer (software, electric, mechanical), law, PA, Accountant..

Or TTI's heimishe men's cohort. SS is not compatible with a kollel schedule.
