• Graduation within five years from an undergraduate BSW program accredited (or admitted to candidacy for accreditation) by the Council on Social Work Education.
• A cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in all social work courses taken prior to Admission Committee action.  Accordingly, applicants for admission with advanced standing must provide the Admissions Committee with a transcript that records at least the fall semester (or winter quarter) grades of their senior year.  Therefore, the applicant may need to submit an application closer to the deadline date.
• A fourth reference letter is required from the BSW Director of the applicant's undergraduate program.
• Evidence of characteristics and/or potential required for competent social work practice as defined in the mission statement of the school.  Such evidence may be derived from the application materials, letters of reference, and pertinent work or volunteer experience.
