Admission Criteria

The Military Social Work Graduate Certificate is designed for students with a direct practice or clinical focus.  Current UTA students in the MSW program who have selected the Direct Practice concentration and are in good academic standing may enroll in the Military Social Work Graduate Certificate at any point prior to graduation. To be conferred the certificate, current MSW students must complete the MSW degree. Non-degree seeking students who wish to pursue the Military Social Work Graduate Certificate must possess an MSW from a CSWE-accredited institution with a focus in clinical or direct practice with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher in their graduate coursework.
