Prerequisites for Admission

Applicants who are admitted to the M.S.W. program must complete certain prerequisites before beginning classes. Incoming students will have their official transcripts reviewed to determine if they are lacking any of these prerequisites. If so, students will be notified by mail what prerequisites must be completed before they start school in the Fall and will have the option of completing the prerequisites they lack by taking additional course work, completing assigned readings, or through other appropriate options. It is anticipated that admitted applicants with bachelor's degrees in social work and psychology will already have met most or all of the course prerequisites. The School will provide a list of readings that students may review prior to beginning the program to prepare them for generalist courses. The following prerequisites courses must be competed with a 3.0 (B) average overall the five (5) classes prior to enrolling for Fall semester:

• Introduction to Sociology
• Introduction to Psychology
• Introduction to Political Science or U.S. National Government
• Human Biology
• Research or Statistics
