What are the basic requirements for admission into the University of Michigan School of Social Work?
• Applicants must have completed a bachelor’s degree prior to enrollment in September unless they have been admitted through our non-BA program. • Applicants must have completed 20 semester hours of social science/liberal arts/language coursework (for example: Anthropology, Economics, History, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Social Work, relevant languages etc.) The relevant coursework must be in three or more of the social science areas. • Applicants must have completed coursework which covered the biological determinants of human behavior (note: this requirement can be met following enrollment). Typically courses in social work, psychology, human biology, human sexuality, human development or anthropology cover the required content. Applicants should list the courses that they believe meet this requirement on their application. Each applicant’s transcript will be thoroughly reviewed for courses by admissions staff as well.
