Master of Social Work Program Admissions

Enrollment in the Pacific University master of social work program is limited, and admission is selective. Those that submit a completed application by the early deadline, will be considered for a graduate assistantship.

Students interested in either two-year or advanced standing programs will apply online to the Master of Social Work Program.

The Admissions Committee uses a holistic review process in considering applicants for admission, including factors such as:

• Academic record
• Community service and social work-related experience
• Communication skills
• Strength of interview
• Ability to work as an effective team member
• Letters of recommendation
• Commitment to the profession

Pacific Alumni & Current Students
Pacific University graduates who complete the application process by the early application deadline and meet all admission requirements will be guaranteed admission and have a reserved spot in the upcoming cohort.
