Admissions

This fall, UTEP began work with the UChicago Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice to join more closely together in our mission to work toward a more just and humane society. During the 2022–2023 academic year, which marks the program’s 20^th anniversary, UTEP is leveraging the power of pause to imagine what this joint work will look like in practice, particularly as we emerge from the pandemic. This means that instead of conducting Foundations Year classes during the 2022–2023 school year, UTEP staff will be collaborating with Crown Family School staff and faculty to expand our possibilities for future UTEPers’ programmatic offerings and opportunities.

UTEP is therefore not currently accepting applications. For any questions, please reach out to uteprecruit@uchicago.edu.
