Admission to the Social Work Major

For all open admission to the major periods, the department strongly encourages you to meet with your faculty advisor (see the list on our website http://www.svsu.edu/socialwork/bsw/advising/) and to attend one of the admissions information sessions immediately prior to submitting your application in that period. Below are the open admission periods.

PLEASE NOTE: Admissions periods are open in one semester for admission to the major during the following semester. For example, if you apply in Fall 2024, you will be admitted to the program for classes starting in Winter 2025.
