Advanced Standing MSW Curriculum

We are pleased to announce that we hope to introduce an Advanced Standing MSW Program to begin with Summer 2010. Students with BSW degrees and total GPA's of at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale for social work courses are advised to apply for Advanced Standing status.

Competitive applicants will have grades of "B" or better on all social work practice courses, and have BSW degrees no older than 5 years. Applicants who graduated more than 5 years ago may request consideration for the advanced standing program if they have five or more years of social work practice experience within the last 10 years. Admissions decisions will be made on a case by case basis for applicants whose degrees are more than 5 years old.

In addition to the standard admissions packet for the MSW Program at NCSU, provide a copy of your field evaluation and a reference from your Field Instructor or Field Supervisor.
