Do not apply if you can possibly attend another program. I transferred there this past year due to my husband's job. I started out in California, but transferred to their interpersonal practice program. Professors are mostly low quality and berate students. They disclose personal information all the time "Johnny is not in class due to a really personal medical problem." Internships are worse many people are glorified babysitters at group homes. If you want medical social work about four internships exist for 120 students. This department discriminates based on cultural diversity and physical appearance. It ruined the last year of my life and if you plan to stay in Kalamazoo there are zero job prospects. The student service advisor does not return emails so good luck getting guidance. Please go someplace else. My first year in California was challenging, but fine in comparison to WMU. Please contact me if you want to know more. Good luck! I don't want to be a downer, but no one should go through this experience.

For the Northridge interview I asked about the LCSW process, demographics of CSUN social work student, job prospects for MSWs and what type of field placement I might get. Just ask about things you are curious about they are very friendly. I hope this helps, Hillary

Hi SooperGLLY the interview was pretty short maybe 15-20 minutes max. They definitely read my application beforehand. They asked me questions specific to my background. Example, I work and went to school at UCLA and they asked why Northridge. They also asked about why I wanted to be a social worker. The second half of the interview was my questions for them. Be prepared to ask a least a few questions about the program or social work. I think this was just as important as the questions they asked me. Hope this helps- Hillary
