Deciding on a Minor and Your Path Through the Program
While completing your BSW, you can also earn a minor (or two) in another area of study. This is an optional program element, and some students will instead choose to take a variety of electives rather than focusing on specific subject areas.
Minors usually consist of 4.0 credits from your electives that are taken in specific courses required by the minor’s department. Please note that some Minors require Research Methods and Statistics courses, which may double-count under the Social Work Major as the equivalent of SOWK 3001 and 3002. Please check with the Undergraduate Administrator for Social Work to see if this is available with your Minor.
Many students are admitted to Social Work with a variety of transfer credits and experience. Thus, student programs will vary. In some cases, courses listed in the course sequencing tables found below are offered in both the fall and winter terms. In these situations, you are able to register for the course in either term, however, you must check to ensure you will still meet prerequisites for your other courses and/or practicum.
