Social Work Minor

The Social Work Minor is designed to augment a related major such as criminal justice, Spanish, religion, psychology, etc. Students who plan on either a career in human service or graduate study in social work are urged to consider the sociology major with concentration in social work. Students majoring in sociology with a concentration in social work may not add the social work minor .

Students will: demonstrate workable understanding of major elements of the human service systems in the United States; demonstrate beginning level counseling skills and strategies for problem-solving; and will know and be able to use a multi-layered understanding of human behavior in the social environment.
