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.
