How to Apply
Step One
Set up an informal conversation with the NNU Social Work BA Program Director to start a conversation on what finishing your degree at NNU would look like. In this conversation we can help answer any of your questions. This is a chance to get to know you. You can set up this meeting via email socialwork@nnu.edu, phone 208.467.8680, or by using this scheduler.
Step Two
Submit your application for admission to NNU along with your unofficial college transcripts (official transcripts will eventually be required, but unofficial transcripts can be used in the admission acceptance evaluation process).
If you meet NNU’s admission requirements, you will receive your notice of admission acceptance.
Step Three
Meet with a social work advisor for an interview:
- Schedule a meeting with your Social Work Advisor to craft a personalized plan of study.
- Once you have scheduled a meeting with your Social Work Advisor, submit your Advanced Standing BA in Social Work Application via email before your interview appointment to socialwork@nnu.edu.
- Attend a virtual or in-person interview with your Social Work Advisor who will get to know you, your skills and your interests better. You will be contacted via your preferred method (indicated on your application) by your Social Work Advisor to set up this interview time.
- The Social Work department will determine whether your prior credits meet the requirements and will then advise you on next steps or needed coursework if necessary.
Step Four
Watch for communication from the Social Work department on the status of your application and your next steps. If you are granted admission into the program, those next steps include:
- Submission of official transcripts to admissions@nnu.edu
