BCWEP Application
The Baccalaureate Child Welfare Education Program has moved to an electronic application process. In order to submit an application, please make sure that you have the following items ready for submission: personal statement, current r茅sum茅, and unofficial transcript copy.
Applications are due by March 15, 2024.
BCWEP Applications require you to submit personal information including contact information, a valid driver's license number, student ID number, confirmation that you have a social security number, employment eligibility, and county preferences for field placements. Click each box below for further details and instruction. The prompts for the personal statement are provided below.

Your statement should be no more than five (5) pages and consist of essay responses to the following four questions:

Include any significant educational or professional experience(s) that may have influenced

3. Please state your understanding of the importance of diversity and difference in
shaping life experiences. Why is this especially important to understand when working
with the children and families of New Jersey?
4. What do you know about the efforts underway in New Jersey to transform child welfare
services for vulnerable children and their families? How might you contribute toward
these efforts as part of BCWEP?
