Programme Type: Postgraduate
Course Overview
The master’s in Social Work curriculum begins with the foundation-level courses and then moves into the advanced level. Students who hold a bachelor’s degree in Social Work can enter at the advanced level, skipping the foundation courses. However, students with bachelor’s degrees in other areas must start with the foundation curriculum.
The MSW Foundation curriculum provides students with the knowledge, values, and skills of a generalist social worker, whereas the MSW Advanced curriculum provides students with concentrations in specialized areas of practice, determined by the needs and demands in the community in which the program is located. These concentrations are generally on the micro, mezzo, and/or macro level and are taken only after the student has completed the foundation curriculum (unless they enter with a bachelor’s in Social Work.).
NEIU’s full MSW program admits students for the fall semester only, and the advanced program admits students for the summer semester only. The full MSW degree program (including the foundation courses) consists of 60 credit hours. The advanced program alone consists of 33 hours.
Entry Requirement
Admission Requirements:
An applicant’s undergraduate academic record must reflect an overall grade point average (GPA) of 2.75 or higher on a 4.0 scale. All undergraduate work is included in the evaluation. Post-bachelor’s work in graduate-level courses, if any, is expected to average 3.0 (B) or better. Applicants must meet any additional program requirements.
Goals and Objectives
Submit a two-page statement addressing your goals and objectives specific to the program to which you are applying.
Letters of Recommendation
Two recommenders must each submit a letter of recommendation and the Letter of Recommendation Form on your behalf. Recommenders should be professors and/or employers who can attest to your qualifications. One letter should be from a former professor if you have been in school in the last five years. Recommendation letters from non-supervisory co-workers, family members, or friends will not be accepted. If a recommender submits a letter and form by mail to the Office of Graduate Admissions, his or her signature must appear across the back seal of the envelope.
Alternatively, you can send a link to your recommenders through your online application portal. By accessing the links, your recommenders can complete the Letter of Recommendation Form and submit the letters of recommendation electronically, directly to Northeastern. If you scan or email copies of letters of recommendation, these will not be accepted.
Application Fee
The $30 application fee is payable by mail (check or money order), online (debit or credit card), or in-person (cash, check, money order, debit, or credit card).
All standardized test scores (i.e. GRE, GMAT, TAP, Basic Skills, TOEFL, IELTS, ECE, or WES evaluation) must be sent directly from the organization to be considered official.
