What is the difference between an intended major and professional major in social work?
The intended major is what first, second, and some third year students declare on their advising forms. A professional major in social work has been officially declared with a BSW academic advisor and when students have completed the pre-professional requirements. The declaration of professional major in social work usually takes place during the latter part of the third year. Admission into the professional courses requires completion of pre-professional courses, a minimal GPA of 2.5, and a written narrative. See the BSW Curriculum website for specific course information.
