Welcome to the Boston University School of Social Work MSW admission pages! We appreciate your interest in our dynamic, urban-based graduate social work education program.

Our main campus is located in educationally, culturally, and recreationally rich Boston, Massachusetts. We offer a multi-method focus in clinical social work practice and macro social work practice. We also offer an advanced standing program. There are many other program options, including several dual-degree and certificate programs. Students are immersed in both classroom and field education in full- and part-time programs on the Charles River Campus in Boston and three off-campus part-time, weekend programs [OCP Brochure - PDF] , in northeast Massachusetts in Chelmsford, and in southeastern Massachusetts in Fall River and on Cape Cod.

We also offer an Online MSW Program. This part-time program with a focus in Clinical Social Work Practice utilizes a convenient online learning format and allows individuals to earn an MSW degree while continuing to live and work in their own communities. Applicants who have a minimum of two years of supervised human services experience may apply to be considered for the Human Service Experience Track (HSE). Other applicants are eligible to apply for the Standard Program track. To better serve our students and communities the online program is available for students residing outside the Massachusetts route 495 corridor. Applications for the Online Program are accepted each semester and applicants can apply to enter the online program in September, January or May.

On these pages you will find important information about application procedures and the admission process, including details about admission deadlines, an explanation of the application requirements, admission events and information sessions and, student and alumni profiles.

No GRE or MAT needed for the MSW Program if your GPA is 3.0 or higher in a 4 point system! Advanced Standing and Online Program applicants must have a 3.0 or higher to apply.
