Graduate Level Social Welfare courses
While priority for enrollment in graduate level social welfare courses is reserved for grad students, the instructors will sometimes consider undergraduates for enrollment when space is available. The instructor has total discretion in determining the suitability of the undergraduate for enrollment in a graduate course. The list of courses that will consider undergraduate enrollment is available in the Undergraduate Assistant's office.

Social Welfare Courses during Summer Sessions
In Summer 2001, the department is offering elective undergraduate Social Welfare classes. Course work on Immigrants In the U.S.; Substance Abuse Treatment; Diversity; & History of Social Work will be offered. In addition, SW 103 & SW 105, the traditional senior year core courses, will be offered. Students who wish to accelerate graduation, or free up their senior year in order to more easily do field work and/or a thesis, could take the senior year course work during the summer.
