The MSW Entrance Survey is designed to be completed by students at the time of entrance into the MSW program. This survey provides programs with summary information about their incoming students, towards the effort of comparing to students that complete the Exit Survey at graduation. This effort can identify groups of students who are more successful in the program, and to identify other groups in need of support in order to facilitate success.
