All students accepted
into the Social Work major must arrange an initial College
of Liberal Arts (COLA) advising appointment with Mr. Robert
Wood, 163 Millet, 775-2601. At that time a COLA checklist
will be completed. This checklist is the official checklist
used by the Social Work faculty to determine the COLA requirements
that apply to you.
A College of Liberal
Arts requirement is to take courses in a modern foreign language
up to the 202 level, which often is five courses. You may
choose to complete a six course sequence in American Sign
Language in lieu of the traditional foreign language.
Students who first enrolled at Wright State prior
to Fall 1993 have the option to complete a language up to 202 OR
complete the Research Methods option which consists of two (2)
approved Logic courses taught in the Philosophy Department, two (2)
approved Statistics courses, and two (2) approved Computer Science
courses.
Students enrolled
at Wright State beginning Fall 1993 and after and who graduated
from high school in 1986 or before (prior to the College preparatory
curriculum policy requiring two units of foreign language),
must demonstrate proficiency at level 103 in all foreign language
either by satisfactorily completing course work or by examination.
If you choose the traditional
foreign language and have no particular preference, we recommend
Spanish. It is the second most spoken language in the U.S.
and is especially useful for social workers.
