** NOTE:
If your undergraduate GPA, as calculated by the UTA Graduate Admissions Office, is 3.0 or higher in roughly the last 60 credit hours completed, you will be admitted. If your GPA is below 3.0, please review the Probationary Admissions section below. Do not begin the probationary process until a School of Social Work recruiter or admission counselor notifies you.
The UTA Graduate Admissions Office will not calculate your GPA until you have submitted your application, paid the application fee, and provided the necessary transcripts. Make sure to mention in your application if you have earned an associate’s degree, a minor, a second bachelor’s degree, a master’s, or any medical, law, or doctoral degree. After being admitted, some of your MSW courses may be waived if you meet the requirements.
- We DO NOT have application deadlines. However, applying early (by the UTA priority date) gives you the best opportunity to be admitted early enough to be eligible for scholarships, grants, fellowships, and assistantships.
- International Applicants will need to contact the Office of International Education (OIE) or visit this website https://www.uta.edu/oie as the fee structure, deadlines and orientation dates vary from those of domestic applicants.
