Master’s Programs Partnerships

Student talks to another student

The University of Delaware has partnered with Bryn Mawr College to provide students the opportunity to further their education in the fields of family therapy and social services.  Students can apply for admission to  their program during their junior or senior year of the Bachelor’s degree program at the University of Delaware.

Bryn Mawr Partnership

University of Delaware students can begin applying to the Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research at Bryn Mawr College for fall 2020 admission. The Graduate School is known for its dedication to fine teaching, individual attention, and high academic standards. Their Master of Social Service (MSS) degree is equivalent in both licensure and use to the MSW degree and is fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. Prospective students can learn more about their program on their website.

Through this pilot program, Bryn Mawr will waive up to three MSS courses (at their discretion) for a University of Delaware student accepted into their program, including a foundational research course, theory course and one elective.  In order to waive these courses, UD students will need to have earned a minimum of B+ or higher in the UD courses.

Students selected for the pilot program will be eligible to receive a 40% tuition scholarship from Bryn Mawr College for each year in the program and the graduate application fee will be waived.

Application Requirements

  • Meet with Bryn Mawr representatives and complete the required application
  • Have a 3.0 grade point average or higher at the beginning of senior year at UD, and maintain a minimum 3.0 through graduation
