NDSCS College Catalog |
The Social Work transfer curriculum plan is designed to prepare students with the general education and introductory courses necessary to pursue a bachelor's degree in Social Work. This curriculum will also provide students with the skills, knowledge and abilities necessary to advance in their profession. Students will participate in both classroom and field experiences that are intended to provide a generalist-model foundation in helping people. This program of study also has the flexibility to allow students to tailor their educational experience with the client population of their choice.
Students interested in transferring to a four-year undergraduate program will find that completion of the Social Work transfer curriculum plan will provide them with a number of options. Many students have transferred successfully into accredited Social Work programs at a number of colleges and universities.
