Direct entry from an MSW program can be considered for applicants who show exceptional promise and capacity to use a continuing course of study. A Ph.D. is awarded upon completion of all requirements.
Application is made on a form supplied by the school.
This fee is not refunded or credited toward future fees. Passing this examination, which relates to practice theory and the analysis of an example of the applicant's clinical work, qualifies the applicant to waive one winter of clinical internship work. However, all three summers of academic courses are required. Further information about the advanced clinical standing option may be obtained from the school. Agency-based work must form the majority of the internship hours.
