Social & Behavioral Science

Major in Social Work

The major in Social Work consists of 37 credit hours of courses listed below. Either PSY 2000 or SOC 2000 is required for General Education credit. The Social Work major will prepare the student for entry level work in the field. A minor in another field of study is required. Please consult your advisor about the selection of this minor.

Due to scheduling prerequisites and alternate year format for some upper division Social Work classes, Social Work Majors who transfer may only begin their major studies in the Fall semester of each year. Students transferring to WSC with an AA may attend and take other spring classes but may only begin Social Work Major classes during the Fall semester, requiring two complete years beyond the ‘first’ Fall semester at Warner.
