Social Work/Human Services
Although graduate programs in Social Work/Human Services generally
accept any major, students preparing for direct entry into these fields
should consider majoring in one or more of the following:
Sociology, Psychology, or an interdisciplinary
major in Social Work/Human Services. A list of
suggested courses for this interdisciplinary major is available from the
program advisors: William Dragon and
Richard Peterson.
Students preparing for either graduate training or direct employment
should include in their programs these core courses:
ECB 101 (Macroeconomics);
PSY 161 (General Psychology);
SOC 101 (Sociological Perspectives);
POL 262 (American Politics);
and one course in recent American history.
Students are strongly urged to acquire experience in social work or
human services as volunteers or interns. It is possible to earn credit
for this kind of experience during the academic year through PSY
or SOC 280/380, and in the summer through
PSY or SOC 299/399.
