Department of Social Work
BSW Requirements
Admission to the University does not constitute acceptance to the Department of Social Work. Community social work agencies cooperate with the Department in providing field work experiences for the students. The number of students placed for field instruction is determined by the availability of these resources. At times, there may not be an approved site for student placement and there may be delay in meeting that part of the graduation requirements. The Department does not give credit for life experience or prior work experience.
Students enrolled in the practice sequence are individually responsible for their own transportation to and from community agencies. All students must have liability insurance. Insurance information is available in the departmental office.
