The advanced-level practicum implements students' choice of concentrations and substantive areas. Students choose electives to supplement the required courses. Full-time students complete the program in two years. Students admitted for part-time study may extend the program up to four years. The advanced-standing program admits individuals with B.S.W. degrees with strong records in their foundation programs.
Applicants generally have relevant post-degree work experience.
Admission Requirements Applicants must have bachelor's degrees from accredited universities before the date of admission. The admissions committee may make exceptions, taking into account special circumstances such as improvement of grades in upper-division or graduate courses. Graduate Record Examination scores are not required. Higher grade-point averages are an advantage. If you have two years of experience or more, a reference from your social work supervisor should replace the practicum evaluation and practice teacher reference.
