Student Cohort Profile

In September 2005 the Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research welcomed 106 new students to the Master of Social Service (MSS) program. Thirteen students were admitted to the dual degree program, combining MSS and Master of Law and Social Policy (MLSP) studies. Forty percent of the students will be completing the three-year part-time program. Their ages range from 21 to the mid-fifties, with twenty percent of the class being 25 and under. Nearly one-third of the class is comprised of students of color.

This diverse group of students includes those traditional age students completing their undergraduate degrees, people who have been working in human services, as well as those who are changing careers. Should you wish to contact a current student to learn more about Bryn Mawr's program, please call the Office of Admissions at 610-520-2601 or email us at swadmiss@brynmawr.edu.
