Master of Social Work

Admission Requirements: The applicant must score well on the LSAT or GRE; is encouraged to submit a personal statement; have an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or better; submit three letters of recommendation and be matriculated in the J.D. program at Albany Law School.

The dual J.D./M.S.W. degree program is designed to promote integration between the fields of law and social work. It enables students to earn both degrees in, at most, four years of full-time study, rather than the usual five. The program is designed so that a maximum of six courses may be applicable to both degrees. Recipients of joint J.D./M.S.W. degrees hold professional credentials for a broad range of careers in government, consulting, teaching, research and law.
