Pre-major Social Work Curriculum

Pre-major Social Work Requirements


As a pre-major student, you will complete a wide range of courses that are offered across the university (General Education Curriculum).  You will also complete two social work classes designed to expose you to the social work profession; social work values; and how the issues of race, gender, class and ethnicity affect the social welfare and well-being of Americans.  

• Social Work 230: Individual Needs and Societal Responses, students gain an introductory understanding of human needs, social values, ideologies and institutional structures which have shaped the evaluation of social welfare programs in America.
  
   
• Social Work 300: Minority Perspectives: Race, Ethnicity and Gender, students examine the structure of human societies, cultures, and institutions and the allocation of resources from the vantage point of oppressed minority populations.
