The BASW Program in Des Moines will initially be offered as a full-time, 2 year cohort model. The social work courses will be sequenced, and students will take an average of 2 courses in social work each semester. Students will also enroll in at least 6 s.h. of additional upper-division courses offered by the UI each semester including summer in order to complete the degree in two years. The social work major courses will be offered in Des Moines in a classroom setting. Other requirements will be offered online or through a combination of classroom and online methods. Persons interested in part-time study are encouraged to contact the Admissions Director to further discuss the possibility of applying for the program.

There are two steps to the admission process:

1. Students first apply to the University of Iowa Office of Admissions online as Social Work Interest majors. Applicants who have earned or are completing the AA degree, and who have completed the recommended courses for the 2+2 Social Work Major through Des Moines Area Community College should go to this website and complete the application posted there.
