Part-Time Advanced Standing Alternative Plan (ASAP) Program Option

The ASAP program is for students who have recently completed an undergraduate degree in social work from a CSWE accredited program. Admission criteria include an earned undergraduate degree in social work within the past five years, a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher and proof of their undergraduate field placement. The proof needed is either a copy of the field evaluation or a letter from the field instructor. If the student has been working in the field over two years post graduation, a letter from their current supervisor must be substituted and used as one of the personal references.

This program allows a student to earn a Masters Degree in Social work in only 8 quarters by taking 30 credit hours less than the regular program. Students may take courses in either the clinical or administrative concentration. In addition to the MSW degree, students have the opportunity to specialize in areas such as: Aging, Public Policy and Management, School Social Work and minor in African American Studies.
