background, mental health hospitalization, substance abuse treatment, a concern based on the program's Code of Conduct,

any scores below 3 (average) on the Rubric for Assessing Professional Behaviors, or concerns have been identified regarding

the information provided in the student's narrative essay in the application. The faculty conduct interviews with the student

the criteria are met.

social work practice. Emotional and professional readiness are prerequisites. These include demonstrated emotional
