  1. You can find employment with the Unified School District of an area. Also, you can find employment at city utility companies and other places like that.
  2. Thank you both! One of the MSW programs I have been admitted to also has a social work PhD program so perhaps I could help out on some of their ongoing research projects.
  3. Hi everyone, If you applied to Clinical psych masters programs could you list which programs you applied to, or list any programs that you know of. I applied to several MSW programs with clinical focus but I foresee that I might want to go the PhD in Psych route in the future and a MS in clinical psych might help set me up better for that. I am interested in clinical work and applying counseling, diagnostic, and therapeutic methodologies but I'm not opposed to spending longer in academia and doing research for a while as well. I applied to MSW programs because they seem pretty versatile for clinical work but now I can't help but wonder if a clinical psych MS would be more beneficial for pursuing a PhD.
  4. I thought about applying to the program but I couldn't find out much about it. Are you there now? How is it?
  5. Congrats!! When did you submit your application? Also, which program did you apply to?
  6. Also waiting to hear back! Good luck to everyone who applied!
  7. Well, I'm wondering if there is an assortment of field placement options available in the area? Also wondering if there are sites that could contribute towards accruing LCSW hours post graduation? I'd like to know your/their opinion on the quality of the program? Did you/your friends gain experience in the field working with the native american population? If so, what was their experience like? Lastly, did you like Humboldt or feel like the rural nature of the area would be too limiting for a social worker?
  8. That is unfortunate about the single summer course warrenting a transcript. Did your university transcript not list that course as a transfer credit? Mine did and one of the programs requiring transcripts from all colleges/univ attended waived my community college transcript because the summer course transfer credit was listed on my bachelor transcript from university. I'm sure you know this but the quickest way for them to receive your transcript would be electronically if that is an option or for you to pick it up from c college and overnight it to their department. The application process is so intricate and it is a shame that insignificant factors such as 1 course can affect your application. Hopefully it will all work out, just remember that when one door closes another opens. Good luck!
  9. Hey everyone, I know there is a significant difference in coursework/training/internships between these two programs (MSW clinical focus UCF vs. Mental Health Counseling UCF)... it's hard to decide which one I would rather pursue. Looking for any advice or just thoughts on comparing the two programs and prospects post-graduation. https://www.graduatecatalog.ucf.edu/programs/program.aspx?id=1136&tid=278 https://www.graduatecatalog.ucf.edu/programs/program.aspx?id=1436&tid=3605&track=Orlando Full-Time Thanks!

  11. Anyone know about Roosevelt University's program?
  12. Good luck with admissions everyone! I didn't see anyone post about Humboldt State University. Does anyone know if their MSW program is as reputable as the other california state schools mentioned in this thread?
  13. Hey everyone, Do you know if will be acceptable to submit my statement of purpose separately (just in department application) after I have submitted my CSUmentor app. On the CSUmentor app it tells me I can type in "Statement sent directly to the department", but I have not submitted the statement to department yet. I will be submitting the statement after I have submitted the CSUmentor application (~1week later). It seems that it should be ok, just checking to hear if any of you have encountered the same thing.
  14. Thank you for the replies! U SC's MSW program sounds like a great opportunity, especially with a graduate assistantship. Massachusetts also sounds like a nice place to work.
  15. Hi, I have a few questions. I am looking into applying to MSW programs for Fall 2017. I currently reside in FL (Orlando specifically). I have lived in Orlando all my life and am eager to spread my roots. I see graduate school + fieldwork/observation hours/licensure as a large commitment. Ideally, I would like to attend graduate school in another state and give myself time to grow in a new area/setting. However, the tuition price difference between in state and out of state seems rather significant and I am having a difficult time weighing this decision. States I am interested in are Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, California and New York. I have combed through various websites listing "most affordable MSW" programs, but I would like any recommendations that you could offer. Any programs that you know of that are relatively inexpensive for out of state tuition? Is it an important factor to get your MSW in an area that you would want to live in post graduation? Finally, are there any states that value or utilize the social work profession differently than other states? Thanks for any help! Wes
