Social Work, M.S.W./J.D. requirements

Requirements for the 2024-25 catalog. Other catalog years may exist for this program - see below.

Why the catalog year matters

Your catalog year is the year you started at SDSU, and it decides which rules apply to your degree, not the current semester's course list. A class that is offered this term may not count toward your requirements, and one that counts for a newer catalog year may not be on an older list at all. Always check the requirements for your own catalog year, not the newest one.
