The major consists of 60 sh, 54 sh of which are in social work. The remainder are in supporting disciplines of psychology and sociology. A second major or a minor is not required for social work majors.

Students seeking a bachelor’s degree with the Social Work major must complete: (1) degree requirements for a Bachelor of Social Work degree and (2) University Studies requirements (refer to those sections of this catalog). The Social Work Program requires that the social/behavioral science course be Anth 114; and that students take one course in human biology (BSc 107) or two semesters of human anatomy and physiology.

The professional foundation in social work education is built on a liberal arts perspective. Students will be expected to have finished most University Studies coursework before admission to the Social Work Program.

To ensure that the knowledge, skills, and values necessary for beginning generalist social work practice are acquired and integrated by the student in an orderly progression, the curriculum is carefully sequenced. Prerequisites and concurrent enrollment requirements are strictly observed.

Due to the complexity of the curriculum, students are expected to obtain advisement by a social work faculty member prior to registration each semester.
