  1. Hi! I am also a recent grad interested in MSW/JD programs...The process is a bit overwhelming but i think it will be worth it. I have taken the LSAT already and I am opting out of the GRE since most social work schools don't require it but good luck its tough to take so many tests! i want to do a dual degree so I have the tools to not just advocate for traditionally under or misrepresented groups but also so I can empower others to advocate for themselves and provide them with the tools/resources they need to reach their goals. I don't know how helpful I can be, since I am just starting to research/apply myself but below is a list schools I found that have the program. Have you called any of the schools? I want to wait until I figure out where I am applying, but I would love to hear more about the programs academically, and see some employment data or just talk to some of the current students to see what they thought about the program, what kind of jobs they got, how SW licensing worked out for them (in addition to passing an exam, becoming a LCSW usually takes 3,000 hours of post grad work where you are supervised by an LCSW and I worry if I take a legal oriented job at legal aid or a non-profit right after graduating, I will miss the chance to become a LCSW)...Anyway here is the list, I am sure there are more schools but here is what I found so far... SUNY-Buffalo SUNY-Albany SW/Albany Law School Syracuse U of St. Thomas MN Rutgers (can do dual degree with either law campus- Newark or Camden) Case Western Catholic U of Pitt U of CT Loyola Chicago- their law school has a special child law program too! U of Richmond Law/VCU SW University of Iowa University of MD Boston College Fordham University WUSTL Tulane University of Georgia University of Washington NYU UPENN Columbia Michigan Florida State U Yeshiva University University of Texas-Austin University of Houston University of Nevada - Las Vegas UC Berkley UCLA USC University of Utah UNC-Chapel Hill University of Denver
