Previous academic work, background experiences, personal development, and potential for professional practice are important considerations in the evaluation of applicants. Students from non-English speaking countries who fail to pass the proficiency examination in English often enroll summer quarter to begin the required English courses. International students whose native language is not English and who have not received a degree in an English-speaking country must submit evidence to the Admissions Office of adequate training in the use of English. Please check the instructions in the application for any update or revised admission requirements. Applicants should submit all required materials as soon as possible but no later than April 1 for the regular MSW Program.
All programs are subject to early closure.

All ASAP application materials must be on file with the MSW Program Office as soon as possible but no later than March 1. An earlier closing date may be necessary if the class fills before the deadline. Early application is recommended.
