ACES Pre-BSW Guaranteed Entry into the Major (GEM) Enrollment Form

This is an enrollment form, not an application. Our goal is simply to get to know you a little better—where you are in your academic journey, what interests you about social work, and what draws you to our Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program. There are no right or wrong answers. Your responses will help us better understand your interests, goals, and where you are in your educational journey as you explore the BSW program.
