There are slightly different requirements for returning and transfer students.

Returning students and candidates who have applied previously:

  • Candidate Statement: Returning master’s degree students, applicants who were admitted within the last three years but did not matriculate, or applicants who reapply will need to submit a new application on-line. They should also prepare a candidate statement to the admissions committee updating the previous statement and describing interim social work education, experience, or activities.
  • Letters of Recommendation: You will need to submit two additional letters of recommendation.
  • Transcripts:  Transcripts should be ordered and submitted on-line of any subsequent courses taken elsewhere.
  • Fee: You will not be charged another application fee. 
  • Students absent from the program for 5 years or more will be required to repeat all coursework and internships.

Transfer students:

  • Must include with their application an addendum explaining their reason for transferring to the SSA program from their current social work program.

"I'm very fortunate to have had experiences that have scaffolded my understanding in very meaningful, somewhat unexpected, ways. I've been lucky through my work, field placements, and classes to be able to see the various roles social workers can fill."
