Rolling Decisions!

Applications for Fall 2025 are now open.  

Departments in the College of Community and Public Affairs (CCPA) review applications on a rolling basis (rather than after a set deadline), and we continue to make admissions decisions until the program is full.

The earlier you submit your MSW application, MSW Online application or BSW application, the earlier you’ll receive a decision!
