Students must have a 2.5 or higher GPA and submit the required program application materials, along with a background check, to be admissible to Aurora University’s George Williams School of Social Work. Students are expected to maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.8 in all social work courses and a 2.5 or higher GPA overall. Full requirements can be found in the BSW Handbook.
