Admission to the program is selective and based upon the following:

• A formal Bachelor of Social Work program application;
• A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 at the time of application; and
• Writing competency at the ENL 1310 level with a grade of C or better.

Review of the foregoing requirements will be made by the Social Work full-time faculty. The individual applying to the Social Work program will be notified of a decision after the review by the Admissions and Continuation Committee.

No required social work course grade below a 2.0 will be accepted. An overall GPA of 2.0 must be maintained. Students receiving less than a “C” in any social work course must repeat the course.

Students must demonstrate ability in human relations and display professional values and attitudes consistent with the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics. Continuance in the program is contingent on consistent performance in regard to the above issues. Decisions about admissions, discontinuance and repeating of coursework will be handled on an individual basis by the Admissions and Continuation Committee. A grievance procedure is available in the Social Work Handbook. The program reserves the right to require volunteer experience of students.

To obtain this undergraduate degree, the student must fulfill the requirements of the University Core Curriculum, the requirements for the program major and have completed a minimum of 120 credit hours. Students are also required to have completed ENL 1310 with a grade of C or better.

Field Internship

Field Internship occurs during the student's senior year in the program. Students are required to spend 16 hours per week for two semesters (minimum 400 hours) in a human service agency where they are supervised by a qualified social worker. An application for Field Internship is to be obtained from the coordinator of field instruction. Personal interests of the student will be considered but placement will be based on the availability of appropriate social work supervision and an agency's conformity with the Social Work program requirements.
