Admission
Enrollment in the B.S.W. Program requires formal admission to the School of Social Work. The admissions process is competitive. The following are the minimum requirements for consideration for admission to the program:
- Regular admission to the university.
- Completion of a minimum of 26 credit hours. Although we encourage application upon completion of the freshman year, advanced students may also apply.
- Satisfactory completion (grade of C or higher) of the required course SWK S141 Introduction to Social Work.
- A cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.
- Evidence of characteristics or potential required for competent social work practice as defined in the mission statement of the school. Such evidence may be derived from application materials, letters of reference, pertinent work or volunteer experience, and performance in the introductory course.
Applications may be submitted any time before April 1 for admission the following Fall semester. Admissions Committee decisions will be announced by mid-June.
To increase the cultural variety of our student body, the school particularly encourages applications from members of ethnic minorities.
