Admissions interview
After your application has been reviewed, you will be notified whether or not you have been granted an admissions interview. Applicants may also be granted a conditional interview contingent upon completion of additional course work or submission of additional information. The interview is an hour long and takes place with the admissions committee, which consists of three faculty members in the MAPW program and the Registrar.

Transfer credit from the diploma programs:
As a MAPW degree is based on specialized knowledge in the field of process work, graduate school credit other than that obtained through a recognized Process Work program will not be accepted.

Students may transfer up to 14 credits from other recognized Process Work training programs if the student's study committee judges that the student's learning corresponds to the first year of the MAPW program. This is equivalent to transferring into the MAPW program following the first year of core curriculum studies. Credit for training beyond the level of the intermediate exams cannot be transferred.

If you are interested in studying Process Work, but do not wish to enroll in the MAPW program, please see information about our non-residential diploma program or certificate program.

The Process Work Institute Graduate School is an equal opportunity institution. We proudly admit students of any race, national or ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, or physical ability.
