Due to the time needed to process applications from international students, applicants who are citizens of other countries must apply by February 15 or the early decision deadline of January 5. Applicants are encouraged to have some experience in a social work program before attending the School. Applicants with an undergraduate degree in social work or equivalent course work may qualify for advanced standing. A substantial working knowledge of English is essential for admission. Applicants for whom English is not a first language must take the TOEFL iBT and submit scores by February 1; please consult the website for information about the minimum score required. The TOEFL requirement may be waived by the Admission Committee if English has been the primary language spoken in the home and at school. The School reserves the right to require the TOEFL of any applicant whose first language is not English.
