Need Another Reason to Apply by the Priority Deadline?
A key part of all social work education is the field placement or internship. In our program, students work with our Office of Field Education through the interview process with agencies and to secure a field placement. Some agencies that we work with have early interviews, meaning only students accepted during the priority round would be eligible to apply for a field placement there during their first year in the program. These agencies are:
- Maria Droste
- Children’s Hospital
- Denver Family Institute
- All court internships
We have relationships with over 500 agencies throughout the state for field placements, but if you have your heart set on interviewing with one of these agencies for a chance at having your field placement there, you must apply by the priority deadline. As a reminder, the priority deadline is October 31st, 2018 at 11:59 PM.
Finding Your Funding
As you gear up for graduate school, it is likely that you have money on your mind (in addition to the excitement of the academic and career journey you are about to begin, of course). To ease those financial woes, we at MSU Denver are committed to providing you with a quality MSW Program at a fraction of the cost of other MSW Programs.
Still, paying for graduate school takes careful thought and consideration. We have prepared information to provide an overview of the different avenues to research when considering how to pay for graduate school.
