In 1944, the Indiana University Division of Social Service was established by action of the Trustees of Indiana University. The primary educational mission of the Indiana University School of Social Work is to prepare students for competent social work practice at the degree or graduate level. The School of Social Work is committed to the goal of advancing the quantity and quality of knowledge that informs professional practice.
The social school's many locations increase both the opportunities and the requirements for service.
Graduate Programs
Master of Social Work
Those who were not then admitted or rejected, as well as those who apply later, will be kept for periodic consideration as replacements for persons who refuse acceptance or withdraw before the start of the program. Admission is on a competitive basis, and total enrollment is determined by the teaching resources of the school. Persons with current full-time employment as practitioners in social service agencies, or those who have a degree from a CSWE-accredited undergraduate social work program, may apply for admission to the Weekend Work Study M.5.W.
This program, which starts in April each year, offers first-year work on Saturdays and gives students the opportunity to apply to use a current social work placement for a first-year placement. Students unable to use this option will be assigned to a practicum agency for two days per week during the fall and spring semesters. However, it is possible for the second semester practicum to be located in a setting outside of the Indianapolis area.
Three-Year Program
Advanced Standing Program
Program of Study
In general, the first year of study is common to all students, while the second year offers the opportunity for specialization in practice methods and service delivery systems. The master's program in social work is recommended by the school and awarded by the university. Every student must complete at least the second year of the program full-time at the school (minimum 10 credits during each semester).
Each graduate is expected to follow the university and school schedules and dates for completion of requirements, including completion of all work within five years. Cumulative grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale in soda work internship courses in each academic year or equivalent 5. 2 Part or all of this requirement may currently be met by taking courses offered by the school during the previous summer sessions and subsequent spring semesters.
The School follows the University's policies and procedures regarding course withdrawals and failing grades.

A person once properly classified as a resident student shall be deemed to remain a resident student for as long as the person is continuously enrolled in the University until such time.

Such a student will only be allowed to submit his/her supporting documents after twelve (12) months have elapsed from the date of qualification for residence, i.e. the date the student began the twelve (12) month period of residence.
