Social Work D.S.W. Admission

Graduate Admission

Application for graduate admission is a multi-step process.

1. Step 1: Applicants will complete a Graduate Studies application via Apply Texas portal (Do not submit the required essay in Apply Texas). If you have problems accessing the application, please contact the College of Graduate Studies and Research at 325-942-2169 or graduate.studies@angelo.edu. D.S.W. applications will be accepted up to 30 days before the start of the desired semester. International applicants should give themselves more lead time in the application process.
2. Step 2: Once your Apply Texas application has been processed by the College of Graduate Studies and Research, you will receive an email to access the online D.S.W. application via InPlace Student Platform. Please read carefully and complete all sections of the online D.S.W. application.
3. Step 3: Within the D.S.W. application, please upload in PDF format your unofficial transcripts from the university or college that awarded your Bachelor’s Degree and Master’s Degree. If admitted, you will be required to submit official transcripts to the College of Graduate Studies and Research, with the exception of Angelo State University transcripts.
