Yes. Each year up to ten students can be admitted through our Non-Baccalaureate Admissions status. The goal of this provision is to provide an opportunity for individuals with extensive, successful experience in social work to obtain the MSW degree without first obtaining a bachelor's degree.
Most students work part time (10-20 hours per week) when enrolled in the full-time program. Many students apply for and receive work-study funds.
Students may complete a minor in a Practice Method but not in a Practice Area. Students have the option of selecting a Minor Practice Method in any one of the three Practice Methods in which they do not concentrate. Minor method requirements include two advanced method courses and 171 hours of advanced field work related to the minor method. Selecting a minor may limit field placement options and also limits elective course options.
Gift Cards are only to be used for tokens of appreciation and may not be used for payment for services.
Due to the University reducing PCard limits, we encourage faculty/staff to purchase travel on their own and submit reimbursement. However, the FAST Office has the capability to arrange the travel on your behalf through Concur while still charging to your credit card.
If you have an active appointment with the University, you are eligible for per diems while traveling as long as the travel is overnight and outside of Southeast Michigan. You will automatically receive the per diem rate for the city you’re in. To view per diem rates by city, please use the GSA tool.
While on your first and last day of travel, you will only receive 75% of the per diem rate.
