Social & Behavioral Sciences
Because social work is a profession, it
requires its members to conduct themselves
within an accepted code that is based on
professional values and ethics. Persons seeking
to become social workers must be willing to
adhere to these professional values and ethics
while they are students.
The Social Work Program is committed to
the policy of providing professional social work
educational opportunities to all qualified
persons, regardless of their economic or social
status, and will not discriminate on the basis of
race, color, religion, creed, gender, affectional
orientation, political orientation, ethnic or
national origin, disability, age, or any other
individual or group characteristic.
Students must be formally admitted to the
Social Work Program prior to entering the
practice sequence. The procedure for formal
admission to the Social Work Program is as
follows:
1. Students may apply for formal admission
upon completion of a minimum of 30 credits
that count toward the degree. These credits
must include English Composition I and II,
Speech, Introduction to Sociology, Introduction
to Psychology, and Introduction to Social Work;
and students must maintain at least a 2.50 grade
point average in these six courses.
2. Students must have a minimum grade
point average of 2.00 at the time of admission.
3. Students must complete the application
form and have a formal interview with social
work faculty.
Social work majors must receive a grade of
“C” or better in each required social work
course, maintain a 2.00 grade point average
overall, and have a 2.50 grade point average in
the major.
The Social Work Program does not give
academic credit for life experience and/or
previous work experience, in whole or in part,
toward the social work degree.
