Students who declare a major in social work must be formally admitted to the social work program.

Prerequisites for admission include:

  1. Completion of a minimum of six, but no more than twelve, credit hours in social work courses.
  2. Completion of SWK 100 Introduction to Social Work and either SWK 220 Human Behavior for Social Work Practice – Birth through Adolescence or SWK 225 Human Behavior for Social Work Practice – Adulthood through Death, with a grade of ‘C’ or better. (You may apply if these are in process.)
  3. Declaration of Social Work as your major.

 

The application is linked here. The process consists of two steps:

Step 1: Complete all sections of this form and upload your transcript. Remember, the more detailed and accurate your responses, the better we can understand your fit and readiness for the Social Work program.

Step 2: Once your completed application and recommendation letter are received, you will be scheduled for an interview with the Social Work faculty. This interview is a critical part of the admissions process and provides us with an opportunity to further understand your interests, goals, and suitability for the Social Work field.
