Program Curriculum
Course Structure
- Students are expected to meet the core requirements of both Schools. Course savings come from the capacity to use electives in one program to take courses in the other School, and from a limited number of pre-approved courses that count for credit in both Schools.
- Students starting at the School of Social Work will find their first-year coursework similar to that of other social work students. In the second year, coursework is commonly done at both Schools. Students who start in the School of Education may count some of their education courses toward fulfilling the social work elective requirements.
- With approval of the student\x92s advisor almost all education courses are open to dual degree students in fulfillment of their education degree.
Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
You need the following GPA score:
Applicants for graduate programs must have the equivalent of a bachelor\xe2\x80\x99s degree with a minimum GPA equivalent to 3 on a US 4.0 grading scale. Admitted applicants typically have an undergraduate GPA of or better on a 4.0 scale. No exam grade should be lower than 4.5 (European grade scale) or D (American grade scale).
Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated using the grades that you received in each course, and is determined by the points assigned to each grade (e.g. for the US grading scale from A-F).
Applicants may apply to both programs simultaneously or they can apply to the School of Social Work or the School of Education through the normal channels and, at the end of the first semester of matriculation, apply to the second school. Candidates are encouraged to apply at the end of the first semester of graduate study by filling out the application for the second school, interviewing with the program director of their primary school, and getting recommendations from current professors or supervisors.
A grade point average of 3.0 or its equivalent in previous undergraduate or graduate coursework is required.\xc2\xa0
