MSW/BCL/JD Joint Degree Application
Application to the MSW/BCL/JD Joint Degree Program requires two separate applications:
- one application to the School of Social Work for the MSW Non-Thesis program and;
- one application to the Faculty of Law for the integrated BCL/JD program.
Applicants must meet the admission requirements for both programs. A negative response from one program does not mean an automatic refusal from the other. For the BCL/JD joint degree program admissions, please refer to the Faculty of Law MSW with integrated BCL/JD degree site.
