Master of Legal Studies/Master of Science in Social Work

Applicants for the MLS-MSSW program must make separate application to, and be independently accepted by, each of the following:

the Office of Graduate Admissions and the College of Law for the MLS degree,

the Office of Graduate Admissions and the College of Social Work for the MSSW degree, and

the Dual Program Committee.

Students who have been accepted by both colleges may apply for approval to pursue the dual program at any time prior to or after matriculation in either or both colleges.

Such approval will be granted, provided that dual program studies are started prior to entry into the last 10 credit hours of College of Law course work and prior to the third semester of the MSSW program.

Students interested in entering the dual degree program should submit a letter of application to the Dual Degree Program Committee. Upon receipt of the application, the Dual Degree Program Committee will determine eligibility and assign students to advisors who will be responsible for course approval and supervision of the student’s progress through the dual program
