STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING:
I understand that the Social Work Major Curriculum requires sixty (60) credit hours in upper-division courses,
including a twelve (12) hour Field Placement and a three (3) hour Integrative Seminar. I also understand that I would
need to join the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) when I am in Social Work 2412, and that my
membership should be in place prior to entering field placement. I have been advised that I have to purchase Professional
Liability Insurance prior to entering field placement, and that cannot be done if I am not a member of NASW. I further
understand that I will need to make a Formal Application of the BSW Social Work Program for field placement by the
end of the third week of the semester prior to being assigned to an agency. While I shall be consulted as to my interest
and choice of location for field placement, I am aware that my preference/choice may not be possible.
I understand that I must have an institutional grade point average (GPA) of 2.50 to be considered for admission
into the Social Work Program. Once admitted, I must maintain a minimum 2.50 GPA to be assigned in field
placement. The Social Work Program Admission’s Committee has advised me that I need to maintain a “B” or better
in all Social Work Core Requirements to successfully complete this undergraduate program and be considered for
graduate school.
