It is very important to let us know your decision! Click the button below to fill out this form by April 17, 2023 if you have not done so already.
Click the button below to visit the Acceptance Status Hub – this hub lists all possible requirements for acceptance to the MSW Program. Not every requirement listed on this page may apply to you. Please refer to your admissions decision for your specific requirements.
Your NetID is your single sign-on used to log into many University resources. Your NetID is listed at the top of your admissions decision, underneath your Student ID number.

The Department of Social Work is pleased to offer funding opportunities for MSW Program students in the forms of Scholarships & Stipends. We also have several Student Employment Opportunities within the department. Visit the pages linked above for full descriptions and timelines of these opportunities.

Attending graduate school is a tremendous commitment. As a part time student, you can expect to dedicate at least 30 hours/week in classes and studying during years one and three and at least 40 hours/week during years two and four when you will be at a field placement. The Department of Social Work has resources to help you plan for and navigate the next 4 years as a part time graduate student, but it is up to you to ensure you make any necessary changes in your life to ensure graduate school can fit in
Here are some helpful resources:
If you have any questions about course scheduling or other information on this page, please contact the Office of Social Work Student Services.
The advising approach in the Office of Social Work Student Services (OSWSS) is different. Our student services team is a “one stop shop” across the entire student life span – from when you are a prospective student through when you will be an alum from one of our programs!
We advise with a team approach in the Department of Social Work, which means that every student accepted into the BSSW or MSW Program has two advisors to provide support and guidance: professional advisors (the team on our Social Work Advising website) and faculty advisors. While we take a collaborative approach in working with students, professional advisors (also called academic advisors) typically take the lead on helping students navigate the academic side of your program – class scheduling, degree planning, communicating policies and procedures, and linking you with campus resources as needed. Faculty advisors typically take the lead on supporting you through your academic career and professional goals, challenges in the classroom, and personal and professional difficulties. We will often work together when supporting students, so we encourage you to reach out to both of your advisors when you are unsure of who to reach out to for support. You don’t have to be an expert on who to reach out to, let us support you and be the expert. Your job is to just reach out!
During the fall semester, you will be assigned a both a professional advisor and a faculty advisor.
