Master of Social Work Degree
General Information
The School of Social Work in the College of Health and Human Services offers a two year full-time or three year part-time accredited graduate program leading to a Master of Social Work degree. The program qualifies students to apply for the Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) certification process by the Board of Behavioral Science Examiners of the State of California.
The goal of the Master of Social Work program is the education of advanced social work practitioners that enables them to provide services which assure people equal access to resources, programs, and opportunities; assist individuals in the accomplishment of life tasks, the alleviation of individual and social distress and the realization of aspirations as they relate to oneself, others and the society as a whole; and finally because of its special geographic location in the Southern California Pacific basin the school seeks to prepare professionals who will work with the predominate ethnic minority groups of the region in order to enhance the quality of life for economically disadvantaged groups. Special emphasis is currently given to those human needs which relate to the continuum of health care and well-being, families in transition, and social/environmental factors which create stress as it relates to individuals and groups in the home, workplace and community.
The specific program is organized around student experience in a field of service concentration during their first year (Aging, Health, Mental Health or Children, Youth and Families) and a methods concentration (clinical or administration) in their second year. The school is extensively involved in local, state and national human service issues through individual faculty research and community intervention programs. In addition the school has made commitments in the area of chemical dependency research and practice through the Center on Substance Abuse and policy research and intervention through the Human Service Institute of Southern California.
Admission to Graduate Study
The School of Social Work admits new students to the MSW program beginning in the Fall of each academic year only. New students are not admitted to the program during the Spring semester. New students must apply for the program between November 1 and March 1 of the year before they desire entry. Students currently enrolled or on leave of absence from CSWE accredited schools of social work are considered transfer students and can apply to the program for either fall or spring admission.
All applicants must file two separate applications. One to the University Office of Admissions and Records and one to the School of Social Work. The School of Social Work will not consider any applicant who has not filed both required applications. Specific University admission requirements and procedures are outlined in Part Two of this bulletin. Specific School of Social Work requirements and procedures are outlined in the admissions packet as well as on our voice mail telephone system. Applicants should call (619) 594-6865 (24 hours a day) and follow the verbal prompts for information on the MSW program. The recorded message provides information on how to receive application packets as well as a summary of specific admission policies.
In addition to the regular application material the University requires all applicants to take the Graduate Record Examination for admission. Scores must be reported to both the University and the School of Social Work. Applicants will not be reviewed by the School unless GRE scores are on file. Applicants must have taken and successfully passed one course in statistics and one course in human or general biology at the undergraduate or graduate level. Students who do not meet this requirement may be conditionally admitted to the program but will have to take the course(s) prior to actual enrollment in the program for their initial semester. Failure to take the course(s) will result in disqualification from the program prior to the start of the Fall semester.
The School cannot accept any student into the program until the University has accepted them into Graduate Study. For this reason we urge interested students to submit both applications as early as possible. Students who are qualified for admission but who submit applications after we accepted all students are placed on a waiting list and can be admitted up until August 1.
