5-Year BA/MSW
Sociology, criminology, or psychology undergraduates interested in becoming a social worker have the option of applying for the combined Dominican BA/MSW program to complete both degrees in five years. Students may apply two of their undergraduate major courses and up to 18 hours of general electives toward the 124 needed for the undergraduate degree toward the MSW with departmental approval. Acceptance into the School of Social Work is contingent upon completion of all undergraduate requirements in the major and an overall grade point average of 3.25. Students who are interested in the 5-year BA/MSW should meet with their department chair soon after they declare their major, before they achieve junior standing.
Bridge Program
Sociology, criminology, or psychology majors may take two classes in the School of Social Work during their senior year with departmental approval. Students interested in continuing on to earn the MSW can apply those social work classes to their degree. Acceptance into the School of Social Work requires a formal application and is contingent upon completion of all undergraduate requirements in the major and an overall grade point average of 3.25. Students who are interested in the bridge program should speak to their department chair before registering for their senior year classes.
