The Master of Social Work program at K.U. prepares graduates for practice in clinical or social administration social work. The first level of the master's curriculum is a generalist foundation required of all students. The advanced level practicum implements students' choices of concentrations and substantive areas. Students choose electives to supplement required courses. No GRE is required at the M.S.W. level.
Admissions are in the fall semester each year.
We begin accepting applications to the M.S.W. program in October each year. The mission of the University of Kansas Madison and Lila Self Graduate Fellowship is to identify and recruit exceptional domestic Ph.D. students who demonstrate the promise to make significant contributions to their fields of study and society as a whole.
