BASW Admissions

The BASW Program admits new students only in the fall quarter due to the sequencing of courses. Applications for admission are accepted the previous April. We accept applications until the cohort is full. If not already a CSUSB student, students must apply to both the University and the BASW Program.

BASW Admission Information Sessions will be held Tuesday, November 8, 2011 from 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm in the Panorama Room, CSUSB and Thursday, April 5, 2012 from 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm in the Panorama Room, CSUSB. Please read the website information and attend an information session before scheduling individual appointments. We have also developed a powerpoint slide program that we will use at our admission information session. You are welcome to view the Admission Information Slide Show .

Certain prerequisites (see curriculum) are required. In addition, a minimum 2.0 overall GPA and "C" grades are required in SW 200, Statistics and CJUS 101. Application packets for the BASW Program include a personal statement, references, transcripts and an initial plan of study (see chart below).
