Bachelor of Social Work

Application for Social Work Major (BSW) Degree and Liberal Arts

After completing general education requirements and Social Work courses 167, 220, and 298, the student submits a formal application for the BSW degree, normally in the Spring semester of the student's sophomore year.  Applications are only processed in the Spring semester as the professional sequence begins in the Fall semester.  The application material is to be completed and turned into the Department's Office, Swart Hall Room 230, by the announced due date (normally mid-March). 

Only those who are formally admitted to the major will be permitted to enroll in the 300-level Social Work courses.
