Admission Requirements

To enroll in the MSW/MBA program, you must apply separately to both schools and complete their respective requirements. We have streamlined this process for you. You will only need to submit one set of transcripts and references. When applying, please create only one application under either the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences or Weatherhead School of Management. On the "program details" page of the first application, you will answer a question about your intent to enroll in a dual degree. Your application to the dual degree will automatically be created once you confirm you intent in applying to a dual degree on the program details page. This will allow you to use the same application information for both degree programs. Admission decisions are made independently by each school. .
