Admissions Procedures

Students will first apply to the joint MSW program. The joint MSW committee will determine program eligibility and acceptance and randomly assign students to a home institution (UNT or TWU). In the program eligibility letter, students will be informed of their home institution assignment and that they need to apply for institution admission through the ApplyTexas portal. A specific time will be used for students to apply at the ApplyTexas portal. There will be no fee for the program’s joint committee review of applicants, as students must pay when applying to the institution through the ApplyTexas portal. The program will use UNT’s admission standards for program entry.
