Transfer Student Admission Information


All students transferring to the University with an interest in Social Work must contact the Molloy University Admissions Office first and be accepted by the University. The credits earned at other accredited institutions are accepted toward the baccalaureate degree in accordance with the admissions policy of Molloy University. The special needs of transfer students are met through regular sequencing of courses and individualized evaluation of previous educational experience.

Since Social Work is an upper division program, students are expected to acquire a liberal arts foundation before entering the program. Academic credit for life experience and previous work experience are not given in whole or in part.

While life experience (experiential learning) credit may be granted for general education courses in accordance with the University policy, it is not  available for required or elective social work courses. This policy is in accordance with the policies of the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE.org).

 A personal interview with the Social Work Baccalaureate Program Director may be required before admission into the program. Transferring students must submit their written application prior to their acceptance into the program. 

Go ahead! Start something!
