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 the department chair of sociology and criminology soon after they declare their major, before they achieve junior standing.
