Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Do I need to apply separately to the discipline in which I am interested as well as to the Joint PhD Program?

    No. You only need to go through the application process for admission to the Joint PhD Program. If you are accepted into the Joint Program, you are also accepted into the discipline you selected.

  2. Do I need to keep all of my receipts while traveling?

    If you have an active appointment with the University, please keep all receipts besides individual meal receipts. You will automatically receive the per diem rate and do not need to keep any meal receipts, unless you are hosting others.

  3. Do I need to purchase a computer for the MSW program?

    Yes, all Master of Social Work (MSW) students must obtain a personal laptop computer. Laptops are used in some classes, in group projects outside of class, and can serve your other information processing needs. The SSW utilizes virtual lab technology that all students can access anytime, anywhere, making a laptop essential. Please review the School's laptop requirement policy.

  4. Do I need to send original undergraduate and graduate transcripts for the Sexual Health Certificate Program, or are copies sufficient?

    Electronic copies may be submitted with your application. If we have any concerns, you may be asked to submit an official transcript from your institution.

  5. Do I need to take the GRE?

    No. While you can submit GRE scores, they are no longer required to apply or to be accepted into the program.

  6. Do Social Work Essentials/ MasterTrack certificate students have to have their experience screened?

    Experience screening is required only if a student wants to enroll in the MSW degree seeking program and would like to use the Social Work Essentials or MasterTrack courses toward their degree.

  7. Do Social Work Essentials/ MasterTrack courses have projects/assignments and what are they like?

    Each course has a number of projects and assignments that students will complete. They are very aligned with skills that social workers use in professional practice.

  8. Do students have to apply to the Social Work Essentials Certificate program?

    No. Anyone can enroll in Social Work Essentials Certificate courses.
