in social work at any point during their academic career. They may consult with social work and School of Community Service advisers regarding degree requirements at any time. However, formal acceptance into the social work major occurs only after completion of the designated pre-major courses and submission of a formal application for admission. Students must have at least a 2.25 GPA to apply. Application to the major should occur by midterm of the semester in which pre-major courses are completed. The number of available slots is limited, so admission may be restricted. An application form and instructions are available in the social work office.
