Welcome to the
School of Social Welfare Admissions Office webpages.

In the pages and links on this website, you will find all the necessary information to research and apply to our MSW and Ph.D. programs, including program and admission requirements, courses, prerequisites, faculty and academic program descriptions, and fieldwork information.

You will also find the School of Social Welfare application which is available for download and is linked to the Graduate Division website where you can apply online or download .pdf forms.

We urge you to take some time and review these pages thoroughly -- they contain much useful information and can answer many questions you may have.

A calendar of upcoming recruitment visits, informational sessions, and other recruitment events will be included as the information becomes available.

Please contact us by phone, (510) 642-9042, or e-mail if you have further questions or need clarification regarding the application process. We will be pleased to assist you in any way we can. Thank you again for your interest in our programs.

Our upcoming deadlines are as follows (fellowship deadlines are the same as general admission deadlines):
