Minor in Social Work
The Department of Social Work offers a Minor in Social Work at the undergraduate level. This minor is perfect for students who might be entering other fields but who would find a foundational understanding of Social Work helpful in the performance of their duties.
Students must meet all university requirements for a minor. Approval for entrance into the minor must be given by the program director.
