Students declare social work as their major any time after being admitted to the university and take 100 and 200 level coursework prior to applying for formal or selective admission to the BSW (Bachelor of Social Work) program.  The Department of Social Work, an undergraduate professional degree program, formally admits students into the social work major as is required by the Council on Social Work Education.  This formal admissions process allows faculty to assist students in assessing their educational and professional development and in developing timely academic plans.
