You may declare a social work major at any time but must apply and be formally accepted into the program to complete your degree.

If you’re seeking admission, you must:

• Have completed (or be in progress to complete) at least 45 credits of undergraduate coursework at the time of application (application for admission typically takes place during the sophomore year but may occur later).

• Have earned a minimum grade point average of 2.5 from all accredited institutions attended.

• Have earned a minimum grade point average of 2.5 in the required pre-admission coursework (SOC 101 and SW 261).

• Have earned a minimum grade of C- in SW 261.

• Be in good academic standing in the semester in which you apply.

NOTE: Conviction of past criminal activity or conduct will not be used as criterion for denial of admission into the Social Work Major. However, past or future criminal activity or conduct may limit or inhibit you from securing a Social Work Internship which is required for completion of the social work degree. In addition, you may be ineligible to receive state certification or licensure to practice social work. You should discuss any question with your advisers or the director of the Social Work Program.
