Additional Details
The Social Work Department faculty review each student application portfolio in Taskstream to assess student preparedness to be admitted to the Social Work Program. Accepted and conditionally accepted students must attend a mandatory orientation meeting before the beginning of the next semester. At this orientation, attendees will meet with the Social Work faculty, the Department Chairperson, and student officers of the Social Work Club and Social Work National Honor Society. Attendees are informed on the Program policies, requirements, fieldwork expectations, and assessments. This is an opportunity for attendees to meet their peers and Social Work faculty, ask questions about the program, the application process, and/or entrance to the Program.
