Advanced StandingAdvanced standing (up to 15 credit hours) may be granted to students who
have earned a bachelor’s degree in social work within the last seven years from an institution
accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. In addition, students must have earned grades
of B or better in all courses that are accepted for advanced standing.
Proficiency Examinations
Students who do not hold a bachelor's degree in social work may waive the foundation courses in
policy, socio-behavioral theory, and research by passing a proficiency examination. Such waivers do
not reduce the credit hour requirements for the degree, but enable students to take advanced
elective courses to replace the credit hours. There is no fee for these examinations, which are
given prior to the start of the semester.
Transfer
Transfer credit (6 hour limit) may be given for related, but non-social work, coursework
completed within the past five years. Credit hours must not have been applied toward a previous
graduate degree. Applicants must have received a grade of B or better in any course for which
transfer credit is sought.
