TRANSFER STUDENTS

Transfer students should meet the same, aforementioned criteria. In the event one transfers with junior status and has had two or more equivalent introductory social work courses, letters of recommendation should be provided from two of the former social work instructors (if possible).

If a transfer student is accepted into the social work major without taking SW 270 or SW 271 at the main campus, the admission will be conditional. Students will have to successfully complete two WSU social work courses with a minimum grade of "C" and meet with their mentor to discuss the transition into the program.

Students who transfer from other universities or other majors (including other majors at WSU) with enough credit hours to be a junior, should understand that it can take six (6) academic quarters (excluding summers) to complete the social work major! All transfer students must meet the same criteria for admission that WSU students meet.

The Social Work Program is a professionally accredited program. Thus, the curriculum must demonstrate continuity, integration, and sequencing of knowledge acquisition. This includes the general education courses, related courses, and a structured sequence of social work courses.
