The majority of applicants to M.S.W. programs have one of a variety of undergraduate degrees.
Some people have life or work experience in other fields and are ready for a career change.
Others have worked in the human service field for awhile and are ready to pursue an M.S.W. degree to advance in their careers. Students who are enrolled at or have graduated from UMKC must fill out and return this graduate application as well. Applicants also must complete a structured questionnaire that identifies career expectations and reasons for wanting to pursue an M.S.W. degree. Three confidential references are required from people able to assess the applicant's work and academic experience and professional potential. Students send this material, along with the questionnaire, directly to the program.
