Social Work

ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer 2024 and after)

*Please Note: Face-to-face/in-person instruction of this program is available at BOTH the main campus in Tallahassee, FL and the Panama City, FL campus. This program is NOT available via Online/Distance Learning.*

This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area and diversity requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Off-track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.

This is a Specialized Admissions major. The primary mission of the social work profession is to enhance coping skills and quality of life for people in a wide variety of circumstances. The majority of social workers work directly with individuals and families, providing counseling services and case management. Social work courses include content in human behavior, counseling, assessment, social policy, family issues, and group work.

* Contact BSW advisor for other acceptable courses to meet Social Work prerequisites.

ALL Social Work prerequisite courses must be completed with a final grade of C or better ( a C minus will NOT count).
