MSW 4+1 Program

Earn a Master's of Social Work in Five Years

Complete your BSW at PUC and apply to Loma Linda University during your junior year to fast-track your MSW in just one year at LLU. You’ll work closely with an LLU professor/advisor and build a connection with the university while at PUC. By your senior year, you can gain early acceptance to LLU with a single interview for both programs. If you change your mind about graduate school, there are no penalties, providing flexibility as you plan your next steps.
