How to Apply

Admission to the accelerated degree program requires the following:

• Acceptance into the BHS program.
• Completion of at least 75 credits (including transfer credits) at the time of application and taking MSW courses.
• A cumulative grade-point average of 3.25.
  • If a student has completed 30 credits at Dominican University, only the DU GPA will be used to determine eligibility under this criterion.
  • If a student has completed fewer than 30 credits at DU, the student’s cumulative GPA from all institutions attended will be used to determine eligibility under this criterion.
  • Students must maintain a 3.25 GPA after admission to the program.
• Acceptance into the accelerated degree program does not guarantee admission into the MSW program.

Students in this program will be able to count up to 30 MSW credit hours toward both degrees. Accelerated BHS/MSW students must complete a minimum of 15 undergraduate credit hours at Dominican University to earn the BHS. Students pay the undergraduate tuition rate for both BHS and MSW courses taken prior to earning the BA in Human Services. They then pay the graduate rate for all remaining MSW courses.
