Admission Requirements

The department encourages applications from persons who (1) hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university; (2) have attained an overall grade-point average of “B” or better in undergraduate coursework; (3) have completed courses in a broad range of liberal arts and science disciplines; (4) have acceptable recommendations from three individuals, one of whom must be a member of an academic faculty; and (5) have completed satisfactorily a personal statement of interest in pursuing graduate education in the field. Though not required, significant volunteer and/or work experience in the field is strongly recommended. Students who do not meet the liberal arts and science expectations may be asked to complete additional coursework prior to or during the first year of their enrollment in the program. Standardized graduate examinations are not required, but results of such tests may be submitted to supplement other admission materials.

Students applying for advanced standing must hold a degree from an accredited B.S. in S.W./B.S.W. program with a minimum grade-point average of 3.2 (4.0 point scale). This coursework must have been completed within five years of the date of M.S.W. matriculation. Advanced-standing applicants must also submit a reference from a B.S.W. faculty member and the undergraduate field supervisor or field coordinator.
